Security Champion

you are looking for!

My approach to work is 

logic

,

quality

 and 

security

.

 Hello! My name is Patrick Nehls  and I am a PHP developer with strong security orientation from the beautiful city Hamburg in Germany. I have been working as a developer on different programming languages and as database administrator on different database systems for more than 28 years. I believe in code quality, secure programming, and standards. 


Creating secure software is easy, making an unsecure app secure is way harder, so decide for security by design!

WHAT DO I DO

When working with PHP developer with security oreintation these are my topics (in alphabetical order)

  • Code reviews
  • Coding guidelines (prepared statements, parameter validation, invariants, ...)
  • Comments in English or German
  • Consulting on best approaches
  • Monitoring (Metrics, Prometheus, Grafana, ...)
  • Style guidelines (Naming conventions,  ...)
  • Secure programming (GDPR, encryption, injections, ...) 


I am focused on security. Please avoid offering jobs for black hats.

WHY DO YOU NEED ME?

What might be the reason to get an external software security champion?

  • Getting a second opion/reviewer
  • Getting another kind of view
  • Finding security problems in code (parameter validation, injections, ...)
  • Flexible, non permanent working resource
  • Knowledge transfer
  • Lack of own time or resources
  • Your team has developers only and you do not want a full security champoin  but still need security experience.
