Worked on the rdkcentral/rdkservices repository to implement certificate-based client authentication in WebKitImplementation, enabling the use of PKCS#12 certificates with fallback logic for enhanced security. Addressed compatibility by removing obsolete WPE-2.22 configurations, ensuring streamlined builds for WPEWebKit 2.38+ across multiple applications such as Amazon and YouTube. Utilized C, C++, and CMake to refactor code and manage build system configurations, focusing on cross-platform development and certificate management. This work improved build stability, reduced maintenance overhead, and strengthened the authentication flow, reflecting a methodical approach to both security and long-term maintainability within a complex web development environment.
