During January 2026, this developer delivered runtime and CI/CD infrastructure upgrades for the NHSDigital/e-referrals-service-patient-care-api and NHSDigital/e-referrals-service-api repositories. They upgraded both services to Python 3.10, refreshed dependencies such as lxml and pytest-nhsd-apim, and improved workflow configurations to align with new ticket naming conventions. Their work included updating CODEOWNERS files to streamline collaboration and onboarding, while standardizing governance across services to reduce maintenance overhead. Utilizing Python, Shell scripting, and YAML, they focused on platform stability and maintainability, establishing a foundation for secure, reliable releases and enabling smoother cross-team collaboration within the development environment.
