Shivam contributed extensively to the akto-api-security/akto repository, building and refining features for API security, threat detection, and data integrity. Over 14 months, Shivam delivered robust backend and frontend solutions using Java, React, and MongoDB, including scalable batch-processing for API synchronization, guardrail policy enforcement, and webhook-driven threat data exports. Shivam’s work emphasized maintainability and reliability, with careful attention to edge-case handling, code refactoring, and UI/UX improvements. By integrating automation, RBAC, and asynchronous workflows, Shivam improved test coverage, reporting accuracy, and operational visibility, demonstrating depth in full-stack development and a disciplined approach to security-focused engineering challenges.
February 2026 (akto-api-security/akto) focused on delivering reliable threat data sharing capabilities and strengthening data integrity. Implemented Threat activity webhook integration and export (endpoint configuration, batch sending, asynchronous processing with status tracking, scheduling for regular syncs, and gzip compression). UI improvements accompany the feature, and unused webhook code was cleaned up to reduce confusion and maintenance burden. Added robust data handling for missing subcategory/subtype names, with fallbacks to original name and supertype to preserve test results and cross-module consistency, including a revert to maintain correct behavior where needed. The work improved data exposure to partners, resilience of the data pipeline, and overall maintainability.
