Technical Evaluation
With my experience in multiple acquisitions and mergers I can help you evaluate a company’s technical resources and team before an acquisition. As part of your due diligence team, I will assess code quality, architecture, deployment process, development process. I review the team composition and maturity, and analyze the security, reliability, performance, maintainability, scalability, and usability of the application.
As someone who’s made a career of turning around inefficient and dysfunctional technical organizations I can diagnose and resolve issues within the development and infrastructure teams by assessing team structures, workflows, and skill gaps. The focus will be on implementing agile processes, addressing technical debt, and upgrading the technology stack to boost productivity and decrease costs. We will also enhance infrastructure stability and security while aligning technology with business strategy. The goal would be to establish efficient processes, empower the teams, and create a foundation for sustainable growth and integration.
