Stephen Harrison contributed to the CPS-Innovation/Polaris repository by building and enhancing core backend and frontend features that improved case workflow efficiency and user experience. He developed robust API integrations and document management capabilities using C#, TypeScript, and React, focusing on reliable data retrieval, feature flag management, and end-to-end testing. His work included implementing document search, enabling document-level navigation, and supporting GUID-based task identifiers, all while maintaining backward compatibility and data integrity. Through careful refactoring, dependency injection, and infrastructure as code with Terraform, Stephen delivered well-tested, maintainable solutions that addressed real-world operational needs and streamlined complex case handling processes.

October 2025: Delivered GUID support for task identifiers in Polaris' TriageContext, enabling GUID formats for taskId and taskTypeId, updating validation, and preserving backward compatibility. This enhances interoperability with external systems and lays groundwork for future analytics and cross-system mapping. Commit: a98634777a706da46e7d63e70b1e4e12b38eed33 (FCT2-10291).

May 2025 focused on delivering a key data integration feature for the Case Workflow Application (CWA) within the Polaris platform. The team implemented an MDS-backed data path to retrieve case PCD requests and case summaries, enabling faster, more reliable access to essential case information. Major outcome: CWA can fetch case PCD requests and summaries via MDS, reducing data gaps and manual data stitching, and improving overall case handling efficiency for customer support and operations.
