Implemented API security policies

Senior IT Consultant
Senior IT Consultant

  • Implemented API security policies (authentication, authorisation, access control) using Azure API Management (APIM), ensuring compliance with GDPR and regulatory security standards.
  • Integrated security quality gates into Azure DevOps CI/CD pipelines, incorporating automated security checks and SonarQube-aligned static code analysis practices into the deployment lifecycle.
  • Conducted CVE analysis and vulnerability assessments on migrated APIs and infrastructure components, deriving and implementing practical mitigation measures.
  • Implemented AIOps-aligned observability and application security monitoring stack (Azure Monitor, Log Analytics, Application Insights) for proactive anomaly detection and incident response
  • Automated secure infrastructure provisioning using Terraform (IaC) and Ansible, enforcing security baseline configurations across Azure cloud environments.
  • Produced structured security documentation covering threat assessments, API configurations, compliance requirements and operational runbooks ? ensuring clear knowledge transfer across teams
  • Acted as central technical security liaison between development, network and security teams ? coordinating Secure-by-Design principles and security requirements across the platform migration project

  • Conducted source code analyses and SonarQube SAST scans on every build, proactively identifying and remediating security vulnerabilities (CVE analysis) in direct collaboration with development teams
  • Performed OWASP ZAP DAST testing against platform APIs and web interfaces, interpreted scan results and derived practical mitigation options discussed directly with developers
  • Conducted application threat modelling sessions, assessing feasibility and proportionality of security measures in alignment with OWASP Top 10 and BSI IT Baseline Protection principles
  • Translated abstract GDPR and security compliance requirements into concrete, development-ready technical tasks ? acting as the central liaison between the security working group and engineering teams
  • Integrated OWASP Dependency Check into GitLab CI/CD pipelines for continuous software composition analysis (SCA) and third-party vulnerability tracking
  • Implemented authentication, authorisation and RBAC mechanisms (Spring Security, Keycloak, OAuth2/OpenID Connect) ensuring secure API access and identity management across microservices
  • Established automated end-to-end testing (Selenium/JUnit/Mockito) and enforced quality gates via SonarQube, achieving 80% test coverage and consistent security baseline across releases
  • Operated Kubernetes clusters (Argo CD) with Datadog and Application Insights for application security monitoring, alerting and anomaly detection; handled incidents with full RCA documentation
  • Planned and conducted practical secure coding training sessions for the development team, covering OWASP Top 10, common vulnerability patterns and secure API design
  • Drove DevSecOps practices including GitLab CI/CD pipeline hardening, AWS infrastructure provisioning via Terraform, and automated security task execution using Ansible
