April 2026 was focused on strengthening security, improving developer guidance, and clarifying onboarding for Datadog and MI workflows. In wso2-synapse, I implemented Secure XML Handling in the Script Mediator to prevent XXE and ensure safer XML inputs using Axis2/Axiom methods. In wso2/docs-mi, I led two documentation improvements: 1) introduced an ALLOW_LIST mechanism for Java classes to restrict script access and reorganized security guidelines for clarity; 2) updated the Datadog analytics/install docs to use an MI_HOME placeholder, fixing typos and improving onboarding. These changes reduce security risk, minimize misconfigurations, and accelerate adoption, while showcasing capabilities in secure XML processing, security governance, and technical writing.
