This tool was used to save the company rougly half a + million dollars per year by enabling unused license cleanup with little + operator input. It was deemed appropriately useful to release as free and + open source software. It was written in Rust and operates over the SSH2 + library using an undocumented Avaya protocol. + </li> + <li> + Co-authored an authentication/authorization API to specifically serve + the needs of our team.
