# ============================================================================= # COMPETENCY RECORD - Cedric Ancellin's demonstrated engineering skills and # experience. Third-party technologies and vendors are named as the concrete # skill surface. Professional background / track record. # ============================================================================= # ============================================================ # REGULATORY, FISCAL & COMPLIANCE ENGINEERING - COMPETENCY RECORD # ============================================================ # Core Purpose: # Demonstrated experience implementing government fiscal # compliance, tax handling, legal consent/waivers, and a # deep audit/change-tracking system - the regulatory and # governance surface of a payments-handling platform. # ============================================================ summary: > Built the regulatory and governance surface of a payments-handling platform: a full government fiscal e-invoicing compliance module (cryptographically signed invoices submitted to a national tax authority), multi-rate tax handling, digital consent and waiver management, and a deep audit / change-tracking system spanning API access, transactions, and infrastructure. # ================================================================== # 1. GOVERNMENT FISCAL E-INVOICING COMPLIANCE # ================================================================== fiscalization: description: > Implemented end-to-end fiscal compliance for a national e-invoicing regime (Croatian fiscalization / FINA), as a self-contained, unit-tested module wired into checkout. mechanisms: - "Cryptographic invoice signing, RSA-SHA1 XML digital signatures using PKCS#12 / X.509 certificates." - "SOAP integration with the national tax authority over mandatory TLS 1.2." - "Generation of the issuer security code and receipt of the tax-authority identifier per invoice (ZKI / JIR)." - "Full audit persistence of every fiscalization attempt (codes + raw request/response) per venue and transaction." - "Automatic fiscalization triggered on transaction completion in the checkout flow." skill_signal: "Regulatory compliance with a foreign jurisdiction's tax law, digital-signature standards (PKCS#12/X.509, XML-DSig), and SOAP/legacy government integration." # ================================================================== # 2. TAX HANDLING # ================================================================== tax: description: > Built multi-rate, multi-jurisdiction tax and fee computation into the pricing/checkout path. coverage: - "Multiple VAT rates, excise tax, local entertainment/hospitality tax, margin-based taxation, and tax-exempt handling." - "Granular per-line tax + fee breakdown persisted for audit (service charge, processing fee, gratuity variants, taxes)." - "Configurable fee formulas (fixed, percentage, capped-percentage, per-guest, per-item, tiered), 30+ formula variants." # ================================================================== # 3. CONSENT, WAIVERS & TERMS # ================================================================== consent: description: > Built digital legal-consent capture tied to transactions and memberships. mechanisms: - "Event/booking-level terms of service captured and stored per transaction for audit." - "Digital waiver signing with timestamp, signer location, and source, including separate minor/junior waivers." - "Re-sign prevention and completion-state validation; waivers linked to membership and member identity." # ================================================================== # 4. AUDIT & CHANGE-TRACKING # ================================================================== audit: description: > Built a broad audit and change-tracking system covering application, data, and infrastructure, the evidence layer for governance and incident response. application_audit: - "API access auditing (per date / endpoint / key / host / IP with period-over-period trending)." - "Transaction audit records (who / what / when), account create/modify history, admin-user action tracking." - "Dispute/chargeback workflow states (pending / approved / denied / completed / cancelled) with evidence management." infrastructure_audit: - "Database schema/access/user/IP/instance change tracking and slow-query auditing." - "VM provisioning/deprovisioning, SSH connection logs, service-password rotation, and deployment/published-code auditing." - "Hardware/software inventory and feature-flag rollout/assignment tracking." workflow: - "Incident / audit / log / follow-up record types with state, ownership, priority, due dates, and attachments." - "Two-party approval workflow (requester + approver) with email notification." cross_reference: $ref: "https://zc8.com/competencies/07_security_engineering"
