Connor Avery contributed to several NHS Digital repositories, focusing on secure API development, infrastructure automation, and user experience improvements. In NHSDigital/electronic-prescription-service-api-regression-tests, Connor automated regression testing and enhanced configuration management using Python and YAML, enabling more reliable and maintainable test cycles. He strengthened security in NHSDigital/electronic-prescription-service-account-resources by implementing mTLS secret access and refining deployment permissions with AWS CloudFormation. For NHSDigital/eps-prescription-tracker-ui, Connor improved authentication flows and session management with React, reducing user confusion during login and logout. His work demonstrated depth in backend and frontend engineering, emphasizing robust automation, security, and maintainability across cloud-based healthcare systems.

February 2026 focused on strengthening authentication UX and session reliability in NHSDigital/eps-prescription-tracker-ui. Delivered Unified User Session Management and Loading UX during Authentication, including enhancements to logout flow, session lifecycle handling, and user-facing loading indicators. Implemented robust handling for blocked rendering during login (loading page), and extended the role-change path with an isSigningOut-aware loading state to ensure clean transitions. These changes reduce user confusion during login/logout and role changes, improve security visibility, and lay groundwork for smoother incident response.
