Project Summary

Light IT developed a proof-of-concept SaaS training platform for a cybersecurity startup over a short engagement from June to December 2020. The team delivered the POC using a small Agile team (PM, backend, frontend, QA) with a Python/Django backend and React frontend, and the product launched and gained market traction. Communication included weekly standups and daily contact with the PM via Jira.

Key Challenges

Develop a secure training platform proof-of-concept within a very short timeframe without compromising security.
