Christine Horrocks contributed to the communitiesuk/epb-aws-infrastructure and epb-data-warehouse repositories by delivering infrastructure improvements and data schema updates that enhanced security, maintainability, and data integrity. She implemented CIS Benchmark security monitoring using AWS CloudWatch and Lambda, streamlined CI/CD alerting, and removed deprecated tooling to reduce operational overhead. Christine also standardized resource allocation with Terraform, minimizing configuration drift across environments. In the data warehouse, she upgraded XML schema definitions and integrated new RdSAP versions, ensuring compatibility and regulatory readiness. Her work demonstrated depth in infrastructure as code, dependency management, and schema development, resulting in more reliable, maintainable, and compliant systems.

June 2025: Implemented RdSAP schema version 21.0.1 support across the primary data warehouse and the Northern Ireland variant. This included updating dependencies and introducing new XSD files to enable processing of data conforming to the latest RdSAP schema. The work strengthens data ingestion reliability and aligns with updated regulatory/schema requirements. No separate high-priority bug fixes documented this month; the focus was on delivering the schema update and ensuring downstream compatibility.

Month: 2024-12 – Focused on stabilizing warehouse resource configuration in the epb-aws-infrastructure repository to reduce environment drift and improve reliability. A targeted infrastructure cleanup standardized task capacity, CPU, and memory sizing by removing environment-specific overrides and reverting to generalized variables defined centrally. This reduces configuration drift across development, staging, and production and simplifies ongoing maintenance.
