David Sanchez Soler contributed to multiple Kibana repositories by delivering API deprecation and cleanup for Security Solution EDR workflows, focusing on backend development and OpenAPI documentation updates. He authored an upgrade guide to help developers transition from deprecated endpoints, leveraging TypeScript and YAML for clear, actionable documentation. In addition, David stabilized end-to-end testing pipelines by re-enabling critical Cypress and FTR tests, improving release validation and quality assurance. He also realigned code ownership for osquery types, updating governance files to streamline triage and accountability. His work demonstrated depth in API management, test automation, and codebase stewardship, supporting reliable and maintainable releases.

In April 2025, delivered governance improvement by realigning ownership of Kibana osquery types to security-defend-workflows, updating CODEOWNERS and kibana.jsonc to reflect current responsibilities. This change reduces cross-team handoffs, accelerates triage, and strengthens accountability for the Kibana osquery surface, improving lifecycle management and audit readiness. The work is tracked by commit 08fc18b15520612270fa19539e790d46fb9d53c7 with the associated PR (#217633). The month maintained stability with no critical defects reported, supporting reliable delivery and governance compliance.
