Attributed to CEO.

Gomboc's deterministic AI remediation cut Upwork's Terraform fix time from 45-60 minutes to just 15-20 minutes per repository, standardizing what was previously manual, inconsistent work across 250+ repositories. By automating merge-ready fixes aligned with internal policy and blocking noncompliant changes before merge, the platform moved security enforcement directly into the development workflow instead of a separate ticketing process. The result: 125-200 engineering hours saved per month, freeing infrastructure teams to focus on building instead of firefighting security debt.
