PROFILE
Bas
Worked on the OpenConext/OpenConext-engineblock repository, delivering eight features and resolving three bugs over five months. Focused on backend development and authentication, the work included hardening identity provider authentication, implementing concurrency limits for user sessions, and enhancing SAML attribute management. Leveraged PHP and JavaScript to improve API error handling, observability, and CI/CD automation using GitHub Actions. Refactored identity provider listings for data integrity and maintained documentation for clearer release communication. Automated testing and configuration management were integrated throughout, resulting in more reliable deployments, improved security, and streamlined upgrade workflows, while reducing operational risk and support overhead for the platform.
