Contributed to the xapi-project/xen-api repository by developing secure VM import functionality over HTTPS endpoints, leveraging OCaml for backend and networking enhancements. Implemented a dedicated stunnel configuration that utilizes the system CA trust store, enabling secure and interoperable VM imports while broadening TLS compatibility. Enhanced data integrity during snapshot import and export by introducing logging for invalid references and updating VDI and VM linkages post-import, ensuring correct object relationships in the database. Focused on maintainability through targeted refactoring and comprehensive documentation, improving code readability and supporting future enhancements in data modeling, database management, and secure API development workflows.

Jan 1, 2026January 2026: Implemented Secure VM Import over HTTPS endpoints via a dedicated stunnel configuration (world profile) that uses the system CA trust store. This enables xe vm-import to operate securely against HTTPS endpoints and improves interoperability with diverse environments. TLS hardening adjustments were made to broaden compatibility (cipher suites) and tests were updated accordingly, laying groundwork for ongoing security improvements.
