Worked on the ministryofjustice/modernisation-platform-environments repository, delivering three features over three months focused on cloud security and access control. Developed secure browser configuration enhancements by implementing and refining allowlist entries, reducing configuration drift and improving governance. Introduced access control allowlists to strengthen domain-based request filtering, reducing exposure to unauthorized requests and supporting compliant deployments. Expanded authentication options by adding unified SSO support, including Ashfords and Microsoft SSO, to AWS Workspaces Web browser settings. All changes were implemented using Terraform and HCL, emphasizing infrastructure as code, traceability through Git workflows, and collaboration to maintain a secure, reliable cloud environment.
