Ivan Ferrando contributed to multiple PagoPA repositories, focusing on backend and infrastructure enhancements. He developed and secured APIs in pagopa-selfcare-ms-backoffice-backend, implementing broker management and consent validation using Java, Kotlin, and Spring Boot. In pagopa-infra, Ivan improved cloud security and reliability by integrating Azure Key Vault for certificate and secret management, and introduced Cosmos DB for accounting reconciliation with Terraform-based infrastructure as code. He also refactored Redis integrations to a reactive, non-blocking model in wallet and payment services, leveraging reactive programming and Azure DevOps pipelines. Ivan’s work emphasized maintainability, operational reliability, and robust validation across cloud-native microservices.
February 2026 focused on delivering core API capabilities, strengthening security and validation, and improving observability across backoffice, helpdesk, and infra. Key outcomes include the Broker Management API for PagoPA Backoffice with endpoints to create, delete, export, and retrieve brokers and creditor institutions; enhanced Service Consent API with data validation, constraints, and controller unit tests; security hardening with 403 Forbidden responses and updated OpenAPI specs; improved Dead Letter processing via a payment gateway filter with existence checks on gateways and updated tests; and a new Consent Services Monitoring Dashboard providing SLA and availability metrics for consent-related APIs. These initiatives improved data integrity, security, operational visibility, and overall business agility by delivering concrete features, robust validation, and actionable insights.

Month: 2025-09 performance summary Key features delivered: - Reactive Redis integration across critical services: payment wallet resume policies (ReactiveRedisTemplate) and ecommerce payment requests with ReactiveRedisTemplateWrapper, replacing legacy templates where applicable. Commits include PIDM-820 and PIDM-850. - Centralized Redis access management via Azure Key Vault: added Redis standard secrets (host/primary key) to enable secure, centralized configuration. Commit PIDM-914. - Redis connection configuration alignment across environments: updated REDIS_HOST and REDIS_PASSWORD in Helm for development, production, and UAT to ensure correct cluster access. Commit PIDM-65. - CI/CD enhancements for watchdog-deadletter-service: new Azure DevOps pipelines with SonarCloud and Kubernetes integration; commit PIDM-970. Major bugs fixed: - Fixed environment-wide Redis connection configuration by aligning host/credentials across DEV/PROD/UAT to the new standard, preventing misconfigurations and connection failures. Commit PIDM-65. Overall impact and accomplishments: - Strengthened reliability and security for Redis-backed workflows, enabling non-blocking data access and consistent secrets management. Standardized environment configurations reduce deployment risk and operational drift. Improved deployment automation and code quality gates with integrated pipelines. Technologies/skills demonstrated: - Reactive programming with Redis (ReactiveRedisTemplate), test adaptation for reactive flows - Secrets management via Azure Key Vault - Helm-based configuration management and multi-environment deployment - Reactive integration patterns and wrapper migrations for asynchronous operations - CI/CD orchestration with Azure DevOps, SonarCloud, and Kubernetes

July 2025 — pagopa-wallet-service: Key features delivered include MongoDB access documentation and reactive Redis integration. Specifically, added a MongoDB section to README with access URL and credentials and updated manual API testing steps (commit ce4b890012531f00269cda0423eed5baa05ca48b). Also, migrated Redis usage to a reactive, non-blocking model with updated configurations, service wrappers, and tests to align with reactive Redis principles (commit b3e217fd8808dbde748b3828e4e930b8ba6f2a85). These changes improve developer onboarding, enable faster local validation, and enhance runtime scalability for wallet operations.
