Greenstone had an impressive software offering that had unfortunately accumulated a lot of technical debt over the previous 15 years. I analysed the their software, highlighted the key problem areas and then provided a road map for a re-engineering exercise to their executive team. I then developed a prototype using modern architectures and programming principles (SOLID) to demonstrate the proposed solution. The prototype kept the valuable IP of their legacy solution while encouraging modularity and good programming principles. To get the maximum advantage out the prototype, I provided guidance to their team on how to use the new concepts and also to avoid technical debt build up in the future.
