PROFILE

Damien Butterworth

Worked on the hmrc/accessibility-statement-frontend repository to deliver a centralized Accessibility Statements Management feature, enabling HMRC services to create, update, and retrieve accessibility statements in a standardized YAML format. The approach involved designing a YAML-based schema for consistent documentation and compliance tracking, supporting cross-service governance and simplifying audits. Leveraged Scala for backend development and API design, ensuring maintainability and traceable change management through Git. No major bugs were addressed during this period, as stability improvements were incorporated into the feature rollout. The work enhanced accessibility governance, streamlined onboarding for new services, and improved the overall maintainability of accessibility documentation.
