Technical due diligence
Architecture, cloud and product-security reviews that connect technical evidence to transaction risks and post-acquisition priorities.
Technical workstreams
Each review follows the evidence available for the transaction question rather than a generic technology checklist.
01
Can the product and engineering approach support the plan?
ScopeSystem boundaries, critical dependencies, integration constraints, maintainability, roadmap feasibility and available test evidence.
Proposed outputsDependency and architecture map, supported findings and unresolved assumptions.
02
What could constrain growth, continuity or separation?
ScopeDeployment architecture, operational dependencies, access ownership, resilience evidence and cost assumptions where data permits.
Proposed outputsDependency assessment and prioritised questions and actions.
03
Can the product be maintained and updated securely throughout its intended life?
ScopeUpdate mechanisms, identity and access boundaries, dependencies, support responsibilities and security-design evidence.
Proposed outputsEvidence-linked findings, limitations and follow-up tests.
Selected experience
Experience across prior technical roles and advisory work.
Customer-facing security architecture and integration support for semiconductor IP platforms and developer tooling. Work included Linux and firmware integration, benchmark and failure analysis, and translating integration constraints into product requirements and release priorities.
Designed secure compute and data environments, translated scientific requirements into architecture and acceptance criteria, and established reproducible Python/C++ validation workflows and operational handovers.
Engagement
Early technical assessments focus on major dependencies and evidence gaps. Defined diligence workstreams test transaction assumptions, and post-acquisition priorities sequence follow-up validation, ownership questions and actions. Scope and access requirements are agreed before work begins.
