Main Developer/Architect - Positive Technologies AI SSDL

PT Application Inspector SSDL is an advanced application security testing solution which provides static analysis of source code to find vulnerabilities and create suggestions for developers about these vulnerabilities; by making available appropriate rules which protect apps from the found vulnerabilities until they are fixed. The solution integrates seamlessly with different services like version control systems (VCS), bug trackers, and firewalls - applying dynamic security rules for found vulnerabilities. Created the architecture and implemented the main parts of the project. Developed a Domain-specific language (DSL) which allows users to define dynamic security rules in the system and apply these rules to all external systems (external systems are connected as plugins - so the application can be extended by new plugins). The solution allows clients to manage compliance with regulatory requirements, drive operational efficiency, mitigate risks and damages, and enhance the software quality levels. It is available for purchase by clients.
