Ben Howe developed the ARNS Assessment Platform (AAP) integration for the ministryofjustice/hmpps-assess-risks-and-needs-oastub-ui repository, enabling AAP as a new service option within the application. He focused on backend development and API integration, introducing new configuration values, updating routing logic, and implementing secure handling of AAP client IDs and redirect URIs to support OAuth-like flows. Using TypeScript and YAML, Ben ensured the integration was robust and maintainable, laying the groundwork for future processing of AAP version data. His work addressed the need for external service extensibility, providing a foundation for broader integrations without introducing bugs.
