Worked on the microsoft/ARI repository to enhance security and reliability in the Azure Resource Inventory tool. Delivered certificate-based authentication for service principals by introducing a certificate path parameter and updating the login flow, with comprehensive documentation to support secure automation. Addressed a critical security issue by preventing credential leakage in Connect-AzAccount, ensuring sensitive authentication details are no longer exposed in console output through PowerShell scripting. Focused on aligning documentation and security posture with best practices for Azure environments. Utilized PowerShell, Azure CLI, and authentication mechanisms to streamline secure access and improve the overall robustness of the tool’s automation workflows.
