Tom Praschan

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.
