François Grunert contributed to the fbicyber/opencti__opencti repository by building and refining features that enhance security, user experience, and backend reliability. He developed access control mechanisms for knowledge exports, implemented a manifest-driven Ingestion Catalog for connector management, and standardized UI components such as deletion dialogs. His work addressed complex workflows, including robust error handling, secure authentication flows, and seamless frontend-backend integration. Using technologies like React, TypeScript, and GraphQL, François delivered solutions that improved data integrity, policy enforcement, and operational efficiency. His engineering demonstrated depth through cross-stack refactoring, comprehensive testing, and a focus on maintainability and workflow consistency.

August 2025: Delivered the Ingestion Catalog (Connector Catalog) for manifest-based browsing and deployment of connectors, with cross-functional UI/Backend refinements to manage connectors, configuration schemas, defaults, and validation. Fixed critical reliability and security issues: Markdown rendering in activity logs fixed by applying a dedicated markdown CSS class; forgot password flow corrected to operate under SYSTEM_USER context for secure, system-level password resets. These efforts improve connector discovery and deployment, reduce operational risk, and demonstrate strong frontend/backend collaboration and security-conscious development.
