Worked on the dotnet/arcade-services repository to address a critical security issue by restoring secure API and web access. Focused on backend development using C# and .NET, the work involved reconfiguring authorization policies throughout the codebase to ensure consistent, policy-driven access control for all endpoints. Updates were made to ApiRedirection.cs and PcsStartup.cs to enforce correct authorization, while AuthenticationConfiguration.cs was revised to define new authentication policies and schemes. This effort resolved missing authorization for API endpoints, reducing the risk of unauthorized access and aligning the service with security and reliability goals. Demonstrated expertise in API security and authentication workflows.
