Nikita Konoplin developed and enhanced the Veeam App for Microsoft Sentinel within the Azure/Azure-Sentinel repository, focusing on integrating Veeam backup and recovery events into Sentinel for improved security monitoring. Over three months, Nikita engineered analytic rules, data connectors, and validation logic using C#, KQL, and Bicep, addressing both data ingestion and operational reliability. He refined dashboard drilldowns, standardized workbook visuals, and ensured branding consistency through SVG asset management. By adapting to Coveware API changes and strengthening validation, Nikita improved data accuracy and artifact traceability, delivering a robust, brand-aligned solution that supports proactive incident detection and streamlined release management.
