Conor contributed to the Open Zaak product family by developing and refining backend features that improved API reliability, configuration management, and auditability. Working across repositories such as open-zaak/open-zaak and maykinmedia/open-klant, he implemented modular YAML-based configuration, automated Open API Framework version checks using GitHub Actions, and delivered a unique Zaaknummer reservation API. Using Python, Django, and Docker, Conor modernized dependency management and enhanced CI/CD pipelines to reduce manual intervention and deployment risk. His work included adding audit trail logging for critical operations, fixing test flakiness, and integrating partner APIs, demonstrating a strong focus on maintainability and operational governance.

February 2025: Delivered key reliability and governance enhancements for open-zaak/open-zaak. Fixed a flaky Zaak reservation test to ensure a reserved zaak number is allocated correctly and not duplicated. Added audit trail logging for deletion of ZaakObject instances via AuditTrailDestroyMixin, with corresponding tests and OpenAPI header updates. These changes improve data integrity, traceability, and test reliability, supporting compliance and business confidence.

January 2025: Delivered critical API features and reinforced CI/CD practices across Open Zaak and related repositories to accelerate secure deployments and partner integrations. Key features include the Zaaknummer reservation API with uniqueness guarantees, aligned naming, updated serializer/URL, translations, tests, and 201 creation behavior, plus an integration of the Selectielijst API with Open Zaak by updating dependencies (zgw-consumers). Release and maintenance enhancements cover OAF auto-update actions, bumpversion for publiccode.yaml, release 1.17.0, CSP fix for the map view, and cleanup of outdated demo/Docker configurations. Cross-repo automation expanded with central reusable OAF workflows in maykinmedia/objects-api, maykinmedia/objecttypes-api, and open-zaak/open-notificaties to enforce version checks and compatibility. Overall impact includes improved reliability, faster partner integrations, and a clearer path for Open API Framework compliance.
