Security

• Improved team communication and collaboration by implementing Slack, Mattermost, 1Password, and Jira, saving 8,000 hours of labor.
• Set the platform's founding decisions in the weeks after the repository opened in November 2025 — the layering, database‑first data access and the zero‑warnings bar — and they still hold nine months on.
• Automated team collaboration, password management, task and time management, and built a semi‑automatic project‑showcase system, raising team productivity.
• Built the payments and entitlements layer — Stripe alongside Apple and Google in‑app purchase — gating the directory, search and export through an 11‑table access model checked on the server.
• Built company ownership claims end to end — a user claims a company, an administrator adjudicates, and an approval rewrites the authorization graph that decides who is allowed to edit what.
• Established a continuous security programme — code scanning, DAST, dependency and vulnerability checks, SBOM generation, secret scanning and SHA‑pinned actions — alongside 21 written security audits.
• Wrote a scope rule into the repository after a restructure carried another company's inventory, firewall allowances and prose into it — and kept the quarantined residue under the secret scanner rather than excluding it.
• Wrote a parser that reads the real 7,308‑line C header and verifies every call site, every enum constant and that every pointer‑owning class is final, after a hand‑written placeholder header let calls to three removed functions compile, link and crash.
• Rewrote the application's error messages against a written tone standard after a refused sign‑in blamed the user for mistyping when the provider actually required an app‑specific password, and covered it with a test that names the provider.

This work is part of what we offer as Security & Access Management, Technical Documentation, Backend & API Development, DevOps & CI/CD Automation, Product Strategy & Requirements, Full‑Stack Product Development, Project Management (Agile) and Data Governance & Quality.
