About this gig

You have automations nobody has looked at since the day they were built. They are probably fine. The problem is you cannot tell, and neither can whoever inherits them.


The failures that cost money are the quiet ones. A webhook stops firing and nothing complains. A retry posts the same order twice. A credential rotates and one branch fails silently for a fortnight.


WHAT YOU GET, ON EVERY ORDER

A dependency map of what calls what. A failure-risk register of every place your workflows can fail without telling you, classified by whether it loses data, duplicates data, or just stops. A prioritised backlog, estimated in hours, that you can hand to any developer, including one who is not me. And a list of what someone covering for you could not work out. Fixed examination, fixed deliverable. I am not selling a verdict, and I will not invent problems that are not there.


WHAT I CHECK FOR

The failure classes I audit are the ones I built into my reference pipeline: duplicate suppression, replayable dead letter queues, unbounded state, credential handling and whether anything notices silence.

I build small pieces of software that do the repetitive admin a business is still doing by hand supplier invoices typed into the accounts job details copied between systems the same enquiries sorted every morning I came up through the trades so I know what that admin actually looks like and how little time there is for it What makes mine different: they tell you when they are not sure. If an invoice does not add up it gets flagged with the reason instead of being quietly written into your accounts wrong. I am building my client base, so instead of a client list I will show you working code.
