Worked on the DEFRA/epr-backend repository to deliver an experimental versioned API, Find Example Data V2, focused on enhancing data discovery capabilities. The approach centered on implementing a non-breaking upgrade path by introducing findExampleDataV2 in example-find.js and updating module exports, allowing for safe experimentation and future A/B testing without disrupting existing functionality. Using JavaScript and backend development skills, the work emphasized clear API surface expansion and improved testability. No major bugs were addressed during this period, as the primary focus was on laying the technical foundation for iterative improvements and enabling feature flag-driven rollouts within the codebase.

Apr 1, 2025April 2025 (DEFRA/epr-backend) monthly summary focused on delivering new data discovery capabilities with a non-breaking experimentation path, highlighting the technical foundation and business value. Key features delivered: - Introduced Find Example Data V2 (experimental), a versioned API alternative (findExampleDataV2) implemented in example-find.js and exported for potential future use or A/B testing, enabling safer experimentation without disrupting the current flow. Major bugs fixed: - No major bugs fixed in this period; focus was on feature delivery and groundwork for experimentation. Overall impact and accomplishments: - Established a non-breaking upgrade path for data discovery improvements, enabling iterative testing, faster iteration cycles, and potential performance/reliability gains without impacting existing users. - Improved codebase readiness for experimentation and feature flag-driven rollout. Technologies/skills demonstrated: - JavaScript module exports and versioned API design (findExampleDataV2). - Clear API surface expansion to support A/B testing and future integration. - Change traceability via commit 19907ee095be5017c4104e5ebbbac6e649b1bbf8 ("Update example-find.js").
