StrongDM Access Workflows enable secure, auditable, and just-in-time access management to achieve Zero Standing Privileges. Through Microsoft Teams, users can view an Access Catalog, request time-bound access, manage approvals, and review or cancel access requests seamlessly.

• Successfully led a team of five (4 developers, 1 QA) to deliver a Microsoft Teams app from concept to publication, ensuring no missed deadlines through early risk identification.
• Conducted a proof of concept (POC) to validate customer requirements, align them with Teams app capabilities, and accurately estimate the project scope and development efforts.
• Designed a comprehensive technical document detailing app features, architecture, and the seamless integration of the customer’s platform with Microsoft Teams.
• Streamlined project execution by driving daily stand-ups, providing weekly updates to customers, and organizing sprint tasks effectively, which reduced team effort by 15% and enabled critical technical decisions.
• Additionally, contributed to developing bot commands, supported the team in achieving over 90% unit test coverage, and ensured the incorporation of Microsoft Teams app development best practices to facilitate a smooth app certification process. Transferred Microsoft Teams knowledge to the customers, delivering a tailored business solution.

Dataminr's Pulse App for Microsoft Teams delivers real-time, AI-driven alerts for events, threats, and risks, enhancing organizational resilience. It provides location-based risk alerts via Teams channels, ensuring situational awareness for employees and executives. The app integrates alerts with Teams to streamline incident response and management workflows.

• Utilized Dataminr's AWS data pipeline to integrate with Microsoft Teams app components, employing AWS Lambda to provide real-time alerts directly into Microsoft Teams through Bot Framework APIs.
• A Node.js server was created to handle user preferences, allowing users to save, update, or delete categories for which they wish to receive real-time alerts. The server was engineered to handle multiple bot lifecycle events, such as app installation, user messages, and interactive message actions, making it a critical part of the overall system.
• Integrated Dataminr's OAuth system with the Microsoft Teams application to enhance user authentication. This process includes initiating user authentication requests to the Dataminr login page, managing token exchanges, and validating login states.
• Successfully delivered three fully functional Teams bot applications in three months by following Microsoft Teams development standards, overcoming technical and operational challenges to ensure the apps met rigorous publication criteria.

Armis platform detects, classifies, and analyzes devices in your environment, including devices using proprietary wired and wireless protocols. The platform maintains a comprehensive inventory of all your assets, calculates a risk score for every device, and continuously monitors device behavior for threats or attacks. it provides richer context and greater depth of information that helps make the tools your teams already use even more effective. Armis QRadar app provides seamless integration of Armis platform with QRadar SIEM tool, enabling security analysts with convenient right-click lookups of Armis alerts and device information without leaving the QRadar console.

• Designed and developed a configuration page using Vue.js, enabling administrators to securely set up Armis API credentials. The page allows users to define granular filters for pulling specific Armis data (alerts, devices, vulnerabilities) and customize cron job intervals.
• Built cron jobs to fetch, process, and ingest Armis data into QRadar using TCP protocol. The jobs incorporate fault-tolerant checkpointing to ensure reliability and efficient data deduplication, maintaining data integrity across the system.
• Created real-time analytics dashboards tailored for SOC teams, helping prioritize critical alerts and reduce SLA for mitigation. These Vue.js-based dashboards utilize optimized SQL queries to extract data from QRadar's database, these dashboards uses Vuex for managing global state across them.
• Developed a Flask-based API to streamline inter-service communication, serving as a wrapper for QRadar's database. This API facilitates seamless data access and integration, enhancing the system's interoperability and performance.
