Some of Oshri Cohen's hardest engagements start with a codebase that has no tests, no documentation, and no team. In this appearance he talks about turnarounds — stabilizing troubled software and the people around it, then charting a credible path back to fast, predictable delivery.
He shares how he diagnoses the real root cause rather than the loudest symptom, rebuilds engineering from the ground up, and has turned six products around in three to six months.
