During September 2025, Daniel Hawes enhanced the companieshouse/psc-data-api repository by improving null-safety in PSC identity verification workflows. He introduced @Nullable annotations to the PscIdentityVerificationDetails class and refactored the CompanyPscTransformer to use Java’s Optional for date fields, reducing the risk of null dereference errors. Daniel also removed unused helpers and cleaned up imports, streamlining the codebase for better maintainability. Focusing on backend development and code refactoring, he applied strong Java development practices to create a more robust foundation for future features. These changes improved code clarity and reliability, supporting easier onboarding and safer data processing in the API.
