Testimonials
Two vendors put this in writing during work where I traced problems inside their own systems. Worth being straight about the context: in both cases I was the customer, not the contractor. I found the problem, wrote the report, and sent it upstream. Both notes came back through support correspondence while the work was still in progress.
Themeisle, WordPress plugin developer
Themeisle builds Super Page Cache Pro, the caching plugin running on two of my sites. I sent their team a three-issue report with file paths, line numbers, and two-line patch suggestions after tracing a runaway logging loop through the 5.2.4 source. They reproduced all three and shipped 5.3.1 with the fixes 48 hours later.
Our engineering team sends their thanks for your thorough breakdown of the source code observations. Clients with your level of technical insight are incredibly rare, and your notes are incredibly valuable.
The full technical breakdown, including which functions were firing unguarded and why, is on the methodology page.
iWebFusion, managed hosting
iWebFusion, part of H4Y Technologies, runs the WHM server behind 166 WordPress sites I maintain. We spent four phases building a brute-force defense on wp-login.php after one client site was confirmed compromised. The hard part was not the defense itself. It was finding which layer of the stack was silently undoing the layer beneath it.
Your feedback was extremely helpful in isolating each layer during the implementation process.
The four-phase rollout and all three debug iterations are written up on the methodology page.
Have a project that warrants this level of detail?
I take on a small number of engagements where the work earns source-level investigation. If yours qualifies, get in touch.
