Over four months, Anthos Kountouris enhanced the hmrc/time-to-pay-proxy and hmrc/debt-transformation-stub repositories by delivering new API features, schema updates, and targeted bug fixes. He developed and integrated charge information endpoints, improved data models, and maintained API contract stability through careful schema design and robust testing in Scala and YAML. Anthos addressed routing issues in CESA debt endpoints, ensuring accurate request handling and reducing production risks. His work demonstrated disciplined change management, precise error handling, and secure dependency upgrades. The depth of his contributions is reflected in his focus on maintainability, traceability, and the reliability of backend workflows.

In August 2025, delivered a critical routing fix for the CESA debt endpoints in hmrc/debt-transformation-stub, improving reliability of debt request processing. By adding the '/cesa' prefix to the CESA debt creation and cancellation endpoints, requests now route to the correct controllers, reducing misroutes and potential failures in production. This work is captured in commit ccb081533a50979caa36cb6be865e1f509d18314 (DTD-2527: Corrects CESA endpoint (#339)). Overall impact: higher endpoint accuracy, fewer support incidents, and easier future maintenance of CESA debt flows. Technologies/skills demonstrated: REST endpoint routing, controller wiring, version-controlled fixes, and traceable commits in a HMRC repository.

April 2025 monthly summary for hmrc/time-to-pay-proxy: Focused on API stability and data-model integrity. Delivered a targeted bug fix to revert the unintended 'expectedPayment' field from the instalment data model in the Affordable Quotes API, removing the field from the data model and related tests. No new features were released this month; instead, the work safeguarded contract integrity and reduced downstream risk in quotes and payment workflows. The changes improve API reliability for quoting scenarios and support safe future evolutions of the proxy by keeping payloads aligned with product contracts. Technologies demonstrated include backend data-model changes, test maintenance, and precise change tracing through commit messages.
