December 2025 — Security-focused delivery for CIRTEC-QRO/Prueba_BloqueoIPs. Implemented two core blocklist enhancements to raise customer protection against phishing and unauthorized access. URL-based phishing protection added a blocklist to intercept malicious domains at the edge, reducing exposure to phishing attempts. IP-based security enhancements expanded blocklist coverage to include additional threat actors (notably MIRAI) across multiple commits to strengthen defense against botnets and intrusions. Work spanned the repository with phishing and MIRAI-related updates, enabling faster policy propagation and more resilient enforcement. Business impact includes: lower phishing risk for customers, improved threat containment, and a stronger security baseline for deployments. Demonstrated skills: security engineering, blocklist management, threat intelligence integration, CI/CD collaboration, and reliable update pipelines.
