Worked on the lichess-org/lila repository to enhance the security of tournament participation APIs by implementing a Web.Mobile scope, restricting access to authorized mobile web clients for join and withdraw actions. This backend development effort used Scala and focused on RESTful API design, applying scope-based access control to ensure only permitted mobile clients could interact with sensitive tournament endpoints. The approach improved the security posture of mobile tournament workflows and established a foundation for future mobile-first enhancements. All changes were clearly documented and traceable through commit history, reflecting a methodical and collaborative engineering process with attention to secure API governance.
February 2025 Monthly Summary (repo: lichess-org/lila) Key features delivered: - Implemented Web.Mobile scope on tournament join and withdraw APIs to restrict access to authorized mobile web clients, strengthening security for mobile-based tournament participation. - Commit reference documented: d8e75033362ba692cfba2a285b62096b7d23e8fa with message "add web scope to tournament join and withdraw APIs". Major bugs fixed: - No major bugs fixed within this scope for February 2025. No regressions observed related to the new Web.Mobile scope in the tournament APIs. Overall impact and accomplishments: - Security posture for the tournament workflow is improved by enforcing mobile-specific access control, reducing the exposure surface for unauthorized clients. - This work lays the groundwork for future mobile-first enhancements and stricter access governance around tournament APIs, contributing to more reliable and secure user experiences during tournament participation. Technologies/skills demonstrated: - API security and scope-based access control (Web.Mobile scope) - RESTful API design and access restriction patterns - Clear commit documentation and traceability - Collaboration with repository lichess-org/lila and alignment with mobile client access requirements
