Gaurav worked on backend reliability and security enhancements across the UKHO/erp-facade and UKHO/s-100-permit-service repositories. He improved API error handling and XML data integrity in C# by refining webhook event validation and correcting SAP S100 XML tags, ensuring accurate downstream processing. In the permit service, Gaurav integrated Azure Key Vault for secure configuration management, explicitly using SecretClient and updating tests to load secrets from the vault, which reduced secret exposure risks. He also addressed a security vulnerability by upgrading dependencies and improved code maintainability through documentation cleanup, demonstrating depth in .NET, API development, and secure backend engineering practices.

May 2025: UKHO/s-100-permit-service delivered security-conscious configuration management and reliability improvements. Implemented Azure Key Vault integration for application configuration with explicit SecretClient usage, plus test updates to load secrets from Key Vault for improved security and reliability. Addressed a security vulnerability and test flakiness by upgrading System.Text.Json and removing an invalid assertion in DigitalSignatureProviderTests. Also cleaned up XmlTransformer summary comments to improve code readability and maintainability. These changes reduce secret exposure risk, increase test stability, and elevate code quality for future feature work.
