Nikita Shalnov developed a Backstage AWS Security Hub Integration plugin for the awslabs/backstage-plugins-for-aws repository, enabling users to view and manage AWS security findings directly within the Backstage catalog. Collaborating with Niall Thomson, Nikita integrated the AWS Security Hub API using TypeScript and Node, focusing on seamless front end and full stack development. The plugin streamlines security workflows by reducing context switching for analysts, allowing findings to be surfaced and addressed within existing developer tools. This work demonstrated proficiency in Backstage plugin architecture and cross-team collaboration, delivering a targeted feature that improved security visibility without introducing new bug fixes during the period.
