Rhys St Romaine
Worked on the ONSdigital/dp-frontend-search-controller repository, delivering four features over two months focused on improving both user experience and code maintainability. Enhanced the frontend by refining filter and sorting UI spacing and reorganizing hidden input handling for better reliability. On the backend, refactored the search controller to introduce a unified read-request handler, centralized configuration, and parallelized data fetching, which improved performance and simplified route setup. Consolidated data aggregation logic and strengthened validation error handling, resulting in faster, more reliable page rendering. Utilized Go, HTML, and TOML, applying skills in API development, concurrency, code refactoring, and test-driven development throughout.

Nov 1, 2024November 2024 — ONSdigital/dp-frontend-search-controller. Deliverables focused on improving search experience, performance, and maintainability. Key outcomes include two major feature clusters: 1) Search Controller Refactor and Unified Read-Request Handling: Introduced a generic read-request handler, centralized configuration for data aggregation, dataset lookup, and related pages; improved route setup, testability, and performance by parallelizing data fetches and simplifying page creation logic. Notable commits include adding URI to create pages, refactoring routes/handlers, generic handler/page configs, and test refinements. 2) Data Aggregation and Related Pages Enhancements: Consolidated data aggregation logic, improved validation error handling for data finder and review flows, and enhanced rendering/UX for related data pages. Notable commits include combining data aggregation functions, updating tests, and switching validation/error reporting to use validationErrs and error arrays. Impact and value: faster, more reliable page rendering; improved data discovery and related-page UX; easier maintenance and future enhancements due to consolidated logic and better test coverage. Quality signals include extensive test updates, lint/fix work, and translation updates (Welsh) to ensure production readiness. Technologies and skills demonstrated: Go, modular route/handler patterns, test-driven development, linting, performance optimization (parallel data fetches), and robust error handling.
