Consultant-led audit work
Combotto is Thomas Bonderup's consulting practice for engineering-led teams that need a sharper read on edge-to-cloud risk before customer scrutiny, release pressure, or operational drift turns into a bigger problem.
The value is not another layer between strategy and delivery. It is direct technical judgment on the architecture, evidence-backed findings, and a clear path from audit to remediation.
Best fit when you already know which system slice is making leadership or engineering uneasy.
Why teams trust the review
Teams bring me in when the architecture already exists, the stakes are real, and they need someone who can reason across devices, brokers, gateways, observability, and cloud boundaries without turning the review into a generic process exercise.
What that looks like in practice
When this page matters
You need an outside read on the asset or message path most likely to create security, uptime, or trust problems.
Incidents, silent data loss, weak TLS posture, or unclear telemetry make it hard to defend the architecture with evidence.
The goal is not a vague advisory deck. The goal is a scoped audit, a prioritized backlog, and a practical path into remediation.
Direct engagement model
We start with the selected assets, message paths, and operational concerns that matter now. The output is evidence, priorities, and a recommended next move.
If the highest-impact findings need implementation support, I stay close to the system and help harden the agreed problem areas.
For teams with ongoing release or customer pressure, the retainer keeps posture visible through refreshed evidence and reprioritization.
