Michael Wilson
Creator and builder
Michael has spent more than 28 years in cybersecurity and IT, but the concern started before clients were paying him for it. In the early web era, curiosity meant looking for odd little holes in systems like Yahoo Mail and Hotmail, and learning how quickly a clever feature could become a security problem. It was not theory. The web was moving fast, and security was not keeping up.
When clients started paying him to build dynamic websites, the pattern repeated: everyone wanted logins, sessions, user data, and new features, but too few people were thinking deeply about how those systems failed. Michael built practical ways to protect authenticated sessions, validate data, and close the basic holes that others were not yet treating as urgent. Many of those ideas are common practice now. At the time, they came from necessity.
SiteShadow is the product of that same mindset. It integrates natively with Cursor and VS Code, runs as fast as spell check, and uses accurate static analysis and taint tracking to find real risk without burying developers in noise. If code is safe, SiteShadow stays quiet. If it is not, it shows what happened, why it matters, and how to fix it before it becomes someone else's problem.
