During February 2026, Alex Useche developed experimental OpenFGA authorization language support within the semgrep/semgrep repository, focusing on enabling parsing and matching capabilities for policy-as-code scenarios. Alex designed and implemented the language integration using OCaml, leveraging skills in language design, parsing, and the tree-sitter parsing library. The work included creating basic unit tests to validate the new language features and ensure reliable matching behavior. By aligning with open-source collaboration efforts, Alex closed the proprietary integration flow and contributed to broader OpenFGA adoption, laying the foundation for customers to enforce OpenFGA-based authorization checks directly through Semgrep’s extensible analysis framework.
