Over a two-month period, contributed to the communitiesuk/epb-aws-infrastructure and communitiesuk/epb-data-warehouse repositories by delivering targeted infrastructure and data management enhancements. Upgraded the bastion host operating system to Ubuntu 24.04 LTS, improving security and maintainability through Infrastructure as Code with Terraform and HCL. Enhanced backend workflows in Ruby on Rails by enabling deletion of green deals for cancelled EPCs and refining assessment search logic to accurately reflect user input. Addressed reliability in data discovery by implementing robust date validation and comprehensive unit tests, ensuring accurate search results and reducing user-facing errors. Demonstrated a methodical approach to backend development and testing.
December 2025: Delivered a robust date validation enhancement for the CommunitiesUK EPB data warehouse search parameters, strengthening input handling and reliability. Fixed a bug where badly formatted dates could slip through and cause downstream errors. Implemented dedicated unit tests to verify the new behavior and prevent regressions. This work improves data accuracy in search results, reduces user-facing errors, and lowers support burden for data discovery workflows. The change is anchored by commit 72065a66d7101b86cb86234785232b6377ee1a82 with updates to the search params validator.
