December 2025 monthly summary focusing on key accomplishments in two repositories. Implemented SSL enablement for plum-tlse2e to enforce encrypted connections and HTTP->HTTPS redirects (hmcts/azure-platform-terraform), followed by a rollback to revert SSL changes and remove SSL configuration from the backend load balancer (to preserve stability). Hardened Service Principal bearer token handling in hmcts/cnp-azuredevops-libraries by validating non-empty tokens in Precheck, removing obsolete token validity checks, and improving error messaging to guide credential verification. Across both repos, these changes strengthened security posture, reduced pipeline failures due to credential issues, and improved operational diagnostics. Technologies demonstrated include Terraform-based infrastructure changes, SSL/TLS configuration, and Azure AD service principal authentication patterns.

November 2024 focused on validating Redis module upgrades and preserving deployment stability for hmcts/cnp-plum-recipes-service. Delivered a v4.x integration test to assess compatibility and deployment readiness, and performed a controlled rollback to the stable DTSPO-17012-data-persistency reference to maintain production stability. The work reduces upgrade risk, improves confidence in future Redis module deployments, and ensures a stable baseline for data persistence.
