Interned for Salesforce for software engineering in Industries Cloud's Q3/Q4 team. Worked on several projects in Java, Groovy, Python, and Bash script.1. Designed and implemented an automated password generation and rotation tool in Java, capable of rotating over 120 passwords per minute on Salesforce. To achieve this, wrote a custom REST API client and SOQL queries to interface with Salesforce, and used a Java SDK to store and retrieve these passwords securely in a HashiCorp Vault.2. Created Jenkins jobs in Groovy to facilitate scheduled password rotations, and rewrote Jenkins jobs which used the Bitbucket API to use the GitHub API and the HashiCorp Vault.3. Dockerized and merged two separate Python repos into monorepo of apps and modules. In addition to refactoring, I created a Docker image, a Docker Compose manifest, and integration tests.4. Created an automated, all-in-one certificates installation repository with scripts in Bash, used internally to install Salesforce certificates to authenticate into internal resources. Due to the pressing need for this repository's functionality, it is now used as a hard dependency by multiple projects in Industries Cloud.
