Participation to retail bank projects.

Contribution to two medical apps. Cryptography and Core Bluetooth implementation in a Software as a medical device class C project. 
Swift, SwiftUI, UIKit, XCTest, Structured Concurrency. Integration of Crypto Libraries, TDD, Scrum, Security, Risk, Mentoring and teaching, Swift Frameworks, Application Architecture. Found a way to minimise risk with the use of a cryptographic library in a medical context. 

Participation to a large distributed system, secure by design (SRE) - cryptography – CBDC Central Bank Digital currency - financial, security and architectural contributor: Gorilla MUX, Postgres DB, crypto protocols, HSM, project improvement, threat mitigation in close contact with security chief. Hardware specifications. Azure Boards, Git, Docker, GitHub. Frameworks. Multiple stakeholders facing.

Contributed to the project security, hardware requirements, integration of HSMs, backoff policies, found a flaw in a crypto protocol and a way to secure it. >50 team members, I was in the Central Bank/minting team.

Recently involved in Core Bluetooth, SwiftUI and iOS/macOS. 
Bitrise CI CD. Azure Boards, Gitlab, BitBucket, GithHub, AWS, Confluence.

Apps that I worked on: 
1) Speech recognition proof of concept for a major retail bank (MVP prototype)
2) Messaging part handling for investments reporting of a major retail bank (40 Million users worldwide)
3)Maintenance and evolution of an app to track Covid (>20 Million users) – UIKit/SwiftUI
Stack: Core Data, Core Animation, UIKit, REST, Threading: GCD.
Bitbucket, Git, Jira, Fastlane, Aws, Azure Cloud
4) Participation to a project ion the design of a CBDC (central bank digital currency) for a major player in digital payment systems.
Stack: Azure Cloud and Bitbucket, Docker, docker-compose, Swift, Go, C++ 
Refactoring, Maintenance and design of new features, Risk Analysis, Security hardening, Hardware requisites mapping.
Elliptic cryptography, Analysis of requisites, Architectural Decision Records. Participation to the assessment and securing of a crypto protocol for payments. System Maintenance and evolution of new features, Technical Design and implementation, Refactoring. Risk Analysis and Threat mitigation. Involved directly with the Security Chief and the main architect of the project. Negotiation with multiple project stakeholders. (team of >50 people from 20 countries).

Results I am proud of: approaches I suggested been adopted on the whole system and allowing reduction of costs on cloud: e.g.: policies for retries (exponential backoff with randomisation), 
reduction of complexity on the code, and the client being now sailing to success (some countries at pilot stage).

- Requisites analysis, risk estimation, initial design participation of a Swift SDK to handle insulin dosage and communication via Bluetooth Low Energy.
Stack: SwiftUI, Core Bluetooth, WolfSSL, Swift Frameworks, Swift Package Manager.

Results I am proud of: applied mathematical thinking to Risk Analysis.
