PROFILE

Rico Van Dongen

Worked on the zephyrproject-rtos/zephyr-testing repository to enhance software transparency and compliance by improving SBOM generation and SPDX metadata accuracy. Developed a dynamic SBOM population feature that extracts PackageName, PackageVersion, and PackageSupplier directly from module.yml, enabling more reliable vulnerability scanning integration with tools like cve-bin-tool. Addressed a key bug by aligning SPDX metadata naming with the official specification, ensuring accurate and compliant metadata output. Leveraged Python scripting and automation to streamline these processes, resulting in higher SBOM quality and more consistent compliance checks within CI workflows. Demonstrated skills in code compliance, SBOM tooling, and vulnerability scanning integration.

Month: 2025-09 — Focused on strengthening software transparency and compliance in zephyr-testing. Key features delivered include Dynamic SBOM Population for Vulnerability Scanning, which automatically populates PackageName, PackageVersion, and PackageSupplier from module.yml, improving recognition by scanners such as cve-bin-tool. Major bugs fixed include SPDX Metadata Naming Alignment with SPDX Specification, correcting the writer script naming from PACKAGE_MANAGER to PACKAGE-MANAGER to ensure accurate metadata generation per the SPDX standard. Overall impact: improved SBOM quality and SPDX metadata consistency, enabling faster and more reliable vulnerability remediation and compliance checks in CI workflows. Technologies/skills demonstrated: SBOM tooling, SPDX specification adherence, script automation, and vulnerability scanning integration in a Zephyr project context.
