Experience & Initiatives

Some of the work I have done as a founding member of the security team at a leading EU fintech

> OAuth Flow Upgrade

Problem / Context:

Hardening of authentication mechanisms for a live banking API with millions of daily requests.

What I Did:

  • β†’ Risk analysis, documentation and breakdown of current OAuth Flow
  • β†’ Designed solution and led a cross-team initiative to fix the problem without disrupting the existing users
  • β†’ Developed, tested, deployed and monitored the edge computing solution

Outcome:

Frictionless transition to a more modern and secure OAuth 2 flow

Stack:
Clodflare Workers
Node.js
GitLab CI/CD
SumoLogic

> Tenable Vulnerability Management Overhaul

Problem / Context:

No established vulnerability management process or visibility over GCP assets; manual scans risked audit failures and missed vulnerabilities.

What I Did:

  • β†’ Mapped full GCP asset inventory and integrated Tenable Cloud Connectors for automatic discovery
  • β†’ Designed and documented PCI DSS–aligned scanning and remediation process with Jira-based workflows
  • β†’ Developed Python automation to update scan targets monthly via Tenable API and deployed it as a GCP Cloud Function using Terraform
  • β†’ Implemented quarterly SSH and Service Account key rotation with Ansible and GitLab CI/CD for DORA compliance

Outcome:

Fully automated, auditable, and compliant vulnerability management system operating with minimal manual effort.

Stack:
