Andy Babic developed a privacy-first media system for the ONSdigital/dis-wagtail repository, focusing on secure and efficient asset handling. He implemented custom Django views to enforce access control, ensuring media files remain private unless referenced by published pages. His work included refactoring media serving logic, introducing caching improvements, and removing dependencies on wagtail-storages to streamline file storage management. Andy also addressed repository hygiene by correcting gitignore rules, preventing accidental exclusion of static assets and node_modules. Using Python, Django, and Wagtail CMS, he delivered a robust backend solution that improved both security and reliability in media delivery and configuration management.
