Ben Carter delivered security-focused access control enhancements for the Crime Matching workflow in the ministryofjustice/modernisation-platform-environments repository. He introduced a new AWS IAM role for the crime matching algorithm service, enabling secure and auditable cross-service data access to Athena, and updated the existing IAM role for the crime matching API to strengthen access control. Using Terraform and HCL, Ben applied infrastructure as code principles to ensure governance-driven, traceable changes. His work reduced the blast radius of permissions, improved security posture, and enabled faster, more reliable data processing for crime matching workflows, demonstrating depth in AWS IAM and cross-service authentication design.
