PROFILE
Jason Smallman
Jason Smallman developed and enhanced backend reporting features for the ministryofjustice/payforlegalaid repository over four months, focusing on secure data exposure, accurate report retrieval, and scalable architecture. He decoupled API and DAO objects to protect sensitive fields, introduced dynamic configuration for report downloads, and expanded financial reporting coverage. Using Java, SQL, and Spring Boot, Jason established new database schemas with Liquibase, refactored the report retrieval system to align with evolving data models, and centralized ID-based lookup logic for maintainability. His work emphasized integration testing and deployment readiness, resulting in a robust, testable backend that supports reliable and flexible reporting workflows.
