Clarissa John worked on the NHSDigital/immunisation-fhir-api, delivering features that improved data validation, infrastructure, and reliability for immunisation data flows. She consolidated FHIR-to-flat-JSON conversion pipelines, enhanced backend delta processing, and strengthened error handling to support safer, more maintainable deployments. Using Python and JavaScript, Clarissa expanded automated test coverage, integrated Splunk for observability, and modernized infrastructure with Terraform. Her work included refining API security, optimizing CI/CD pipelines, and ensuring robust data transformation and validation. By focusing on test-driven development and code quality, Clarissa enabled more reliable data ingestion, reduced regression risk, and improved the maintainability of the immunisation API.

In 2025-03, delivered the FHIR to Flat JSON Conversion Pipeline and Delta Backend Enhancements for NHSDigital/immunisation-fhir-api. This work consolidated the FHIR data conversion module (including ConversionChecker), completed backend refactor, strengthened delta update error handling, and expanded test coverage to improve data transformation reliability and integration with the immunisation API. Key outcomes include more reliable data ingestion, reduced regression risk through extensive unit tests, and improved maintainability of the data pipeline. Technologies demonstrated include FHIR data modeling, JSON transformation, delta processing, backend refactor, and test-driven development.
