PROFILE
Akinola Olutola
Akinola Olutola engineered and maintained the NHSDigital/immunisation-fhir-api, delivering robust features for secure, reliable immunisation data exchange. Over twelve months, he built and enhanced FHIR-compliant endpoints, implemented resilient API client logic, and introduced supplier-based authorization with Redis-backed permission checks. His work included migrating CI/CD from Azure Pipelines to GitHub Actions, enforcing strict data validation, and integrating AWS services such as Lambda, S3, and CloudWatch for observability and security. Using Python, Terraform, and YAML, Akinola focused on maintainable code, comprehensive testing, and clear OpenAPI documentation, resulting in improved data integrity, operational reliability, and streamlined integration for healthcare partners.

Apr 1, 2025April 2025: Delivered a major upgrade to the immunisation FHIR API pipeline by implementing a FHIR-to-Flat JSON Conversion Engine with robust data validation, standardized date/time handling across formats and time zones, and secure data sourcing via HTTPS. Hardened data integrity checks (NHS numbers, dose sequence validation, SNOMED code validation) and improved date handling for recordedDate and birthDate, plus boolean conversions. Established a dedicated testing infrastructure (check_conversion.py) and coverage configuration to maintain quality. The changes were accompanied by targeted quality improvements (code formatting, trailing spaces removal, separation of concerns) and CI checks (SonarCloud).
