Worked on IBM/OpenJCEPlus, delivering features and fixes that enhanced cross-platform cryptographic reliability and build automation for z/OS environments. Addressed encoding compatibility in C by implementing EBCDIC-to-ASCII conversion for RSAKey operations, enabling seamless integration with the OCK interface. Improved error handling and security compliance in Java cryptography, including FIPS-mode enforcement and more precise exception management. Automated z/OS build processes using Maven and Jenkins, reducing manual intervention and supporting Java 25. Focused on maintainability by refining Makefile logic and introducing CI enhancements. The work demonstrated depth in C, Java, and build automation, driving stability and regulatory alignment across mainframe deployments.

Feb 1, 2026February 2026 — IBM/OpenJCEPlus: Enhanced z/OS cryptographic workflow by delivering RSAKey encoding compatibility with the OCK interface. Implemented an ASCII conversion path and a forceToAscii helper to convert EBCDIC digits to ASCII, enabling reliable operations on z/OS. This work fixed the encoding issue in RSAKey.c on z/OS (commit e8aeb8f00ff602fe9d16309c3bf6fe0fb873073d) and aligns with #1144. Overall impact: improved cross-platform compatibility and stability for z/OS deployments, reducing cryptographic errors and enabling smoother OCK integration. Technologies: C, z/OS, EBCDIC-ASCII conversion, cryptography, mainframe integration.
