In his efforts with Sonar, Mr. West will help to further the company’s mission to increase the value of software as a business asset through improved code quality and security. Sonar’s focus on the developer experience helps organizations continuously reduce the exposure and risk that results from poorly written code and improve the performance of their software. As organizations increasingly adopt AI assistants to write code and develop software, having scalable, flexible solutions that seamlessly integrate into the CI/CD lifecycle has become a business imperative.
