Scoring time

The Problem

Elevate Security scored employee security behavior for enterprises with 5,000+ employees, ingesting data from tools like O365, Okta, Proofpoint, and more. For large Fortune500 organizations (100K+ employees), scoring jobs took 90+ minutes. The database used a delete-and-reload approach that created severe performance bottlenecks.

What I Built

  • Database optimization: Replaced delete-and-reload with hash-based upsert mechanism, only updating records that actually changed, achieving 10x platform speed improvement.
  • 20+ API integrations: Built connectors for O365, Okta MFA, Proofpoint, Cofense, SentinelOne, Zscaler, and more. Created reusable connector architecture with standardized config files.
  • Customer data validation: Full-stack feature (Django + ReactJS) that reduced error rates and saved 10 man-hours/week in error management.

Enterprise Deployments

I worked on deploying the platform to Fortune 500 enterprises. Each had unique integration requirements and security constraints. The integrations I built directly enabled the company's largest client deal, valued at over $500K.
