Badii Ali — I secure, build and maintain the systems your business runs on.

the systems your business runs on.

The short version

Most businesses do not need more technology. They need the technology they already have to be understood, secured, and kept running — by someone who will still answer the phone next year.

Every site I build, I attack first
On the ground

Half the jobinvolves a ladder

Not all of it lives on a screen. Cameras, cabling and cabinets — surveyed, installed and labelled.

  • Server rooms: Configured, virtualised and hardened. Cable runs you can trace by hand.
  • Networks: Designed, labelled and documented — readable by the next technician.
  • Camera systems: Coverage surveyed and planned before a single hole is drilled.
  • Outdoor coverage: Mounted where the coverage plan says, not where the ladder happened to reach.
How the work goes

The same four stages,every time

However big the job is, it goes the same way round.

  1. Understand

    What are you protecting or building, and where does it hurt today? Scope agreed in writing before anyone talks about price.

    Camera coverage surveyed before anything is mounted
  2. Plan

    Data model, access rules, network layout, camera coverage — settled on paper with you, while changes still cost minutes.

  3. Build

    Work lands in reviewable increments, hardened as it lands. I attack my own build before you ever see it.

  4. Hand over

    Documentation someone else could follow, monitoring that warns you first, and a person who answers when you call.

How I work

Five thingsI will not trade away

Five promises. You can check every one of them against something else on this page.

  1. You see the price before I start

    Written down, agreed, and it does not move unless you say so. No invoice is ever a surprise.

  2. I break it before you do

    Everything I build, I attack myself first. That is the whole point of doing both jobs.

  3. You get the manual, not just the work

    Labels, drawings, passwords, and a page that tells the next person how it all works.

  4. I only touch what you ask me to

    Security work starts with your permission, in writing. Nothing outside it gets tested.

  5. You talk to me, not a middleman

    A few jobs at a time. Call in a year and you get the same person who built it.

What you actually get

Things youcan hold

The things that exist at the end of a job. All of them yours to keep.

A written price
Agreed before a single thing starts.
A report in plain English
What is wrong, what it would cost you, and what to fix first.
A cabinet you can read
Labelled, traceable, and drawn on paper.
Your app and your keys
The code and the accounts are yours — never rented back to you.
A handover page
How it works, and what to do at two in the morning.
A free recheck
Once you have fixed things, I come back and check.
You should never need me to explain your own system to you.

Ways to work together

Three shapesmost work takes

If yours fits none of them, say so. Nothing starts before the price is written down.

Who you would be working with

One person,three disciplines

Knowing how a network is actually cabled changes how I design an application. Auditing my own code makes me a better defender. The three do not sit in separate boxes.

The network under the application — surveyed, dressed and labelled

I'm Badii — a Syrian computer science student and security practitioner, working out of Beirut. I did not arrive at these three disciplines from a careers page; they kept turning out to be the same job. The application needed a network. The network needed cameras. All three needed someone who would still answer the phone afterwards.

Security
Security

I audit the way an attacker reads a system.

Authorised testing, hardening and monitoring — and the habit of attacking my own work before anyone else gets the chance.

Software
Software

I build the thing, so I know where it is weak.

Production applications in Next.js, TypeScript, Laravel and ASP.NET Core, with auth and data handling designed in from the first commit.

Infrastructure
Infrastructure

I have pulled the cable the application runs over.

Networks, servers and camera systems — surveyed, installed, labelled and documented well enough for a stranger to maintain.

Questions people ask

Straightanswers

Anything not covered here, just ask. A straight answer costs nothing, and it saves us both a meeting.

Defined scope gets a fixed price, so you know the number before anything starts. Open-ended or exploratory work is billed by the day. Either way the figure is in writing first — no invoice should ever be a surprise.

Both. Development, audits and advisory work happen remotely and can be anywhere. Anything involving cable, racks or cameras happens in person — I am Syrian, based in Beirut, and I travel for installs.

Yes, and for security work I would expect to. Testing engagements also get written authorisation defining exactly what is in scope before anything is touched. I do not test systems I have not been asked to test.

Often that is the better arrangement. I can review what exists, harden it, and hand your team a prioritised list of what to change — without replacing anyone or starting a turf war.

It depends what is already in flight. I keep only a few projects running at once so nobody gets the leftovers. Tell me your timeline and I will be straight with you about whether it fits.

That is completely fine. Not everything has to be a project — one camera, a server that will not boot, or an afternoon of questions is a perfectly normal request.

Contact

Tell me about yourwebsite.

A site that needs building, a system that needs hardening, cameras that need installing, or a network that just needs to work. I'll tell you honestly whether I'm the right person for it — and who to call if I'm not.
