Enhanced code security by incorporating cybersecurity best practices into application development, employing secure coding techniques to mitigate common vulnerabilities such as SQL injection and cross-site scripting (XSS). This approach led to a 50% decrease in reported security incidents after launch.
Worked closely with the cybersecurity team to perform regular code security reviews and vulnerability assessments. Identified and addressed potential security risks, achieving full compliance with internal security policies and external regulations.
Implemented robust authentication mechanisms, including multi-factor authentication (MFA) and OAuth, to ensure secure user access. This significantly curtailed unauthorized access attempts and bolstered overall system security.
Designed and developed RESTful APIs with secure endpoints and strong encryption protocols. This proactive stance on API security reduced the risk of data breaches, enhancing client trust and meeting industry standards.
Led software development for the Idaho Rebid project at Optum, creating high-performance web applications using Angular, React, and Spring. Consistently met project deadlines by effectively managing time and prioritizing tasks.
Analyzed proposed technical solutions based on customer requirements and developed scalable, maintainable code to ensure long-term software stability. Collaborated with management, internal teams, and development partners to communicate software application design status and project progress.
