📋Overview

Conducting comprehensive technical assessment and leading the maturation of a Unity-based training platform used by multiple organizations. The gap analysis identified critical architectural and technical debt issues that needed to be addressed before the platform could scale to wider production use. Leading the requirements definition process with stakeholders across multiple organizations to prioritize improvements that deliver the most value. Architecting solutions for system stability, performance optimization, and long-term maintainability while ensuring minimal disruption to ongoing operations and training schedules. The systematic approach to analyzing and documenting the current state, along with a clear roadmap for improvements, was instrumental in securing the initial contract award for the maturation work.
