Alistair Bateman Osborne worked on the hmcts/adoption-web repository, focusing on modernizing its build configuration and dependency management. He migrated the project’s dependencies from JitPack to Azure Artifacts, which improved reliability and cache efficiency in the build process. Alistair also updated the runtime environment to Java 17, ensuring compatibility with new language features and aligning security tooling by updating the Fortify client artifacts. His work leveraged Gradle and Java, addressing both build and security requirements. Over the month, he delivered a single, well-scoped feature that enhanced the project’s maintainability and positioned it for more predictable CI/CD workflows.
