Your auth tests are probably lying to you
Cypress webinar. Real world OAuth, OIDC, PKCE and Cypress with AWS Cognito.
SPEAKING PROGRAM
Location: London, UKFocus: Authentication, testing, cloud security
Book me to speak about real world authentication and security
I am a software engineer who builds and tests authentication flows for systems that handle real money and real users. I speak about how auth, testing and cloud security actually work in production, not in toy demos.
My sessions are opinionated, practical and honest. No fake JWTs, no magic login shortcuts. Just real OAuth, OIDC, PKCE, AWS Cognito and Cypress in angry production mode.

UpcomingAWS AI UG · London
Architect secure, AI-ready frontends on AWS with Cognito-powered scalable auth
In-person talk at AWS AI User Group London on 11 December 2025. This session presents practical patterns for architecting secure, AI-ready frontends on AWS with Cognito-powered scalable auth. Topics include OIDC (auth code + PKCE), token and session hygiene, least-privilege IAM, and safely brokering AI endpoints via API Gateway and Lambda with rate limits, redaction and cost guardrails.
Attendees leave with a reference architecture, a hardening checklist and a repeatable test strategy using Cypress Cloud. The recording will be added here once it is published.
