Worked on the IBM/OpenJCEPlus repository, focusing on modernizing and consolidating cryptography test suites over six months. Applied Java and JUnit to refactor and parameterize tests for algorithms such as AES, AES-GCM, RSA, DESede, HMAC SHA3, and AES-CCM, reducing duplication and improving maintainability. Removed internal integrity verification logic from cipher classes to streamline security architecture and shift toward external integrity checks. Emphasized test automation and organization, enabling faster onboarding and more reliable CI feedback. The approach prioritized maintainable code, scalable test coverage, and internal quality improvements, resulting in a more robust and extensible cryptography testing framework.
