Worked on the UKHSA-Internal/data-dashboard-api repository to enhance server reliability by addressing a critical initialization issue affecting static assets during deployment. Focused on DevOps and scripting, the developer identified and corrected an incorrect function name reference in the server setup script, which previously caused startup failures and risked production stability. Using Shell scripting, the solution improved deployment consistency and reduced downtime, ensuring the API’s server initialization process runs smoothly. This targeted bug fix not only resolved immediate operational risks but also strengthened code maintainability, providing a stable foundation for future feature development and more efficient delivery in upcoming sprints.
