PROFILE

Annette Chau

Worked on security and maintainability improvements across percona-server-mongodb and mongodb-atlas-cli repositories. Addressed a TLS protocol validation issue in C++ by updating ssl_manager_openssl.cpp to prevent misconfiguration, adding comprehensive tests, and removing an unused API from FLETagQueryInterface to streamline the codebase. These changes enhanced security posture and long-term maintainability while preserving backward compatibility. In JavaScript and Markdown, revised the vulnerability reporting process for mongodb-atlas-cli, redirecting disclosures to the HackerOne Bug Bounty page to improve guidance and triage efficiency. Demonstrated strengths in API design, network security, and documentation, with a focus on robust, auditable, and user-friendly solutions.
