No Bullshit.
Just AppSec that works.
Starting your mission to secure software?
I've been there.
Building an Application Security program from scratch can be overwhelming. And that’s okay. Luckily, I had no idea how big the challenge really was when I agreed to do exactly that. I didn’t even know the outcome might one day be called an AppSec program.
That was four years ago. Today, I’m here to help you tackle this challenge.
Everything I did was based on my experience as a developer, a lot of research, critical thinking, and – maybe the most important ingredient for success – the trust our management placed in me to figure things out. I’m still very grateful for that opportunity to grow and learn. Now I’m here to guide you on your AppSec Adventure.
That's why I founded AppSec Adventure LLC.
To help you build a strong security strategy around your software development lifecycle – so your team and your software can become as resilient as they need to be. I’m not here to hold hands or fight your fires. I want to empower you to face your daily AppSec challenges with clarity and confidence.
You don’t hire AppSec leaders. You grow them.
Who owns your AppSec?
You already have someone?
Awesome. I’ll help them become your AppSec leader with clarity, confidence and the real-world skills they need. Step by step. From potential to ownership.
No one yet?
Maybe there’s someone who cares about security. They just don't see themselves as "the one" (yet). We'll find them together and grow them into a confident AppSec leader.
Because AppSec people aren’t born. They’re built. And until they're ready to own it, I'll guide the process and fill the gap.
We don't wait. We build.
If there's really no one suitable in your team right now, don't worry. I’ll help you get started anyway. We lay the foundation, build momentum and give your team the chance to step up once they see what’s possible and what might be expected of them.
AppSec isn’t just about securing systems. It’s an opportunity to grow for your next technical leader, right from inside your team.
Empowering through preparation, not limitation.
Am I YOUR AppSec Guide?
It’s pretty simple. If you’re only here to check boxes, please move on. If you want to build real resilience, then you’re in exactly the right place – and I’m glad you’re here. You need someone who doesn’t just talk about resilience. You need someone who lives it. I built my whole life around resilience.
I chose freedom over security when I embraced full-time overland travel in my old 4x4 Chevrolet Blazer. That means being ready to fix whatever comes my way. Whether the car breaks down, gets stuck, or I'm just really sick and need to recover somewhere remote.
On the road or in security, I know I won’t have all the answers right away. But I’ll figure it out, using the skills and tools I have to make the best of it.
It's your choice:
- Go the corporate route, hire the suit, buy tools you don’t need and check your boxes.
- Or work with someone who helps you build something that actually works in the wild.
For me, AppSec isn’t about limiting your freedom to build your vision. It’s about being prepared for the road ahead and keep moving.
Just like I constantly prep for the next off-road challenge by learning how to fix my rig, carrying the right gear, recovering when stuck, or leaning on my network when I need it – we’ll build your AppSec strategy to be just as ready for your next epic expedition in software.
Strong security relies on culture.
What can you expect?
This is not an all-inclusive holiday where you lie on the beach and get served cocktails. Remember, you're on a mission. You're bringing your vision to life through software. You need a guide – not a waitress.
So yes, this will be an adventure: pure, muddy, and wild. Together, we’ll build software that leaves a mark – just like the best adventures do.
I’ll meet you where you are.
With your tools. Your team. Your software. Your budget. It doesn’t matter whether you’re starting from scratch or looking to level up an existing AppSec program. We’ll build your individual AppSec strategy based on the core principles I discovered along the way, with full respect for your context.
We design processes that actually fit your workflow and team. We choose the right tools for your goals and your budget. And we tackle the most overlooked aspect of them all: your security culture. We won’t draft it on paper, write some policies, and forget about it. We’ll train it until it’s in your blood – until you live your security strategy.
