Alex Mcausland

Over three months, A.M. enhanced the hmcts/ccd-test-stubs-service and hmcts/nfdiv-case-api repositories by modernizing build systems, improving test infrastructure, and refining backend APIs. They migrated dependency management to Azure Artifacts, upgraded Spring Boot dependencies, and resolved Gradle build issues to ensure reproducible, secure releases. In the ccd-test-stubs-service, A.M. introduced stateless service persistence stubs, improved error handling, and stabilized decentralized feature testing, reducing integration risk and accelerating feedback loops. Their work leveraged Java, Spring Boot, and Gradle, demonstrating depth in backend development, configuration management, and automated testing, while addressing both code maintainability and continuous integration reliability.
