Mike Hall

Engaged to conduct rapid system discovery and stabilize a multi-tenant healthcare SaaS platform during a founder transition, combining hands-on technical investigation with operational continuity planning for a distributed U.S.-Mexico engineering team.

• System Inventory & Risk Cartography: Built a complete architectural inventory and risk model covering application codepaths, network access ports, deployment pipelines, and security boundaries, giving leadership an empirical foundation for future modernization decisions.
• Founder-Transition Continuity: Converted an ad hoc founder exit into structured engineering continuity with explicit component ownership, visible operational risk, and a prioritized stabilization roadmap.
• Production Safety Boundaries: Preserved production stability by establishing explicit release gates that decoupled unvalidated feature code from core platform deployment, protecting multi-tenant PHI/HIPAA compliance boundaries.
• Distributed Team Ownership: Established daily collaboration, office hours, visible priorities, and decision rhythms that moved the distributed team from isolated execution toward shared technical ownership.
