Ben Fernandes

Worked on the govuk-one-login/authentication-api repository to enhance deployment reliability and streamline authentication processes. Focused on stabilizing CI/CD pipelines by updating dependencies and introducing new GitHub Actions workflows for pre-merge checks and deployments, while maintaining codebase stability through careful dependency management in Python and YAML. Simplified the Account Management API by removing passkey proxying endpoints and refactoring authentication flows to prioritize multi-factor authentication methods, reducing the API surface area and improving reliability. Demonstrated skills in backend development, DevOps automation, and API design, delivering features that lowered production risk and improved the user authentication experience within a one-month period.
