PROFILE

Ben H

Over a three-month period, this developer focused on backend integration and security enhancements across several Ministry of Justice repositories, including hmpps-assess-risks-and-needs-oastub-ui and hmpps-strengths-based-needs-assessments-ui. They implemented the ARNS Assessment Platform integration, establishing new configuration and routing for secure OAuth workflows using JavaScript and TypeScript. Their work included replacing legacy services with aap-ui, updating Docker and environment provisioning, and introducing npm allowlists to harden CI/CD pipelines. By managing database entries and configuration in YAML and SQL, they streamlined deployment processes, reduced maintenance overhead, and ensured modern authentication patterns were adopted for training session launchers and assessment platforms.

January 2026 focused on security hardening, deployment reliability, and OAuth-enabled workflows across three repos. Key changes include npm allowlist enforcement to limit executed npm scripts during builds, CI/CD improvement for dependency management, and aap-ui integration replacing oastub for the AAP training session launcher with updated docker-compose, environment variables, and OAuth client provisioning. Deliverables across the three repositories reduced risk, improved deployment consistency, and enabled secure access patterns for training sessions.
