Oscar Velez enhanced security tooling for bancolombia/devsecops-engine-tools and bancolombia/django-DefectDojo by building features that improved secret scanning, vulnerability reporting, and CI/CD reliability. He implemented Id-based findings in Trufflehog scan reports, refined misconfiguration classification, and integrated AWS assume_role credentials into boto3 sessions for safer secret retrieval. Using Python and YAML, Oscar expanded test coverage and streamlined deserialization logic, reducing false positives and remediation time. He also fixed DefectDojo integration to accurately filter risk-accepted vulnerabilities, ensuring reports excluded mitigated findings. His work demonstrated depth in backend development, DevSecOps, and vulnerability management, resulting in more actionable and reliable security insights.

April 2025 — Bancolombia DevSecOps Engine Tools: DefectDojo integration bug fix focused on improving vulnerability report accuracy. Implemented filtering that includes only risk-accepted vulnerabilities that are not mitigated, ensuring reports exclude addressed findings. Change implemented in the print core and linked to commit ddbed2451a923fc5439036982edbc4e2ec726043 for traceability.
