OpenShield is an open-source Azure Cloud Security Posture Management platform in the OWASP ecosystem. My contributions support the broader software engineering story: building reliable scanner logic, validating behaviour, and collaborating through GitHub pull requests.
- Developed Azure CSPM scan rule and remediation work, including Key Vault public access and diagnostic logging checks.
- Worked with security rule validation, intentionally vulnerable Azure resources, and end-to-end platform testing.
- Contributed compliance mappings and documentation across CIS Azure, NIST CSF, ISO 27001, and SOC 2 coverage.
- Collaborated through pull requests on scanner rules, validation frameworks, OpenShield Learn, and contributor-facing documentation.
