PROFILE
Miguel Silva
Worked on the Checkmarx/kics repository, focusing on backend development and release management over a two-month period. Delivered a version update by aligning Dockerfile and documentation to v2.1.4, ensuring consistent release metadata and improving traceability for CI/CD workflows. Addressed a critical bug in the file-resolution engine by preventing infinite loops from self-referencing YAML and JSON paths, which reduced the risk of resource exhaustion during large-scale scans. Applied Go for engine-level fixes, implemented cross-platform tests for cyclic references, and maintained disciplined version control practices. The work emphasized stability, reproducibility, and reliability in both build processes and file parsing logic.
