I'm looking to engage a reputable software architect to help with the tech diligence of a small SaaS company. The scope would be to do an in depth diligence of the front- & back-end including looking at:

- Quality & maturity of the code base
- Scalability of the infrastructure
- Tools, Compliance, IT policies, Core Platform Modernity, etc.

I'm on a budget so can't hire anyone fancy. Please let me know if you have any recs. Thanks.

Freelance sites are your friend: Upwork, Fiverr, etc. are a good start. You'll find folks with different experience levels, so you can find someone who fits your price range. Look out for reviews and specifically search for people who have done similar tech assessments. Don't be afraid of specialized sites: Platforms like CodementorX or Arc.dev are tailored to developers, so you might find a better match there. LinkedIn can be surprisingly useful here! Check out your 2nd/3rd-degree connections – you might find a hidden gem. Also, ask around, maybe someone in your circle has a good recommendation.
Local colleges or universities with strong tech programs could be a good source. Professors or senior students might be up for some consulting work. Think outside the box: Going remote could open some doors. Look at places with a lower cost of living – you might find talented folks who fit your budget.
