I was responsible of designing and leading the development for their security system platform that provides automated threat forensics and dynamic malware protection. I was mainly focused on backend development, including scouting and choosing technologies and ensuring that they all worked together throughout the entire stack. The most challenging part was to set up the testinginfrastructure in order to speed up development and release. I personally introduced them to code reviews, code coverage, unit testing, acceptance testing and performance metrics into the project.
