Read the experience : AI-assisted legacy modernizationEngagement Models
Start with a focused question or a defined workstream. The engagement should match the uncertainty, the stakes, and the team around it.
Understand the current system, identify risks, and establish a sequenced path forward.
Investigate architectural constraints, production behavior, and the improvements with the greatest practical value.
Bring ongoing senior judgment to architecture, technical decisions, and modernization direction.
Carry a defined migration, reliability initiative, or modernization workstream through hands-on execution.
Add principal-level modernization or platform expertise within a consultancy's larger transformation engagement, with clear scope and shared delivery responsibilities.
