Hrishi Mittal developed and maintained the DFE-Digital/find-a-buying-solution platform, delivering over 75 features and 30 bug fixes in nine months. He architected robust content discovery, search, and navigation systems, integrating Contentful APIs for dynamic content and implementing analytics, error monitoring, and automated content expiry. Hrishi enhanced both backend and frontend reliability using Ruby on Rails, JavaScript, and CSS, while strengthening accessibility, SEO, and localization. His work included building JSON API endpoints, refining Markdown rendering for security, and automating CI/CD with GitHub Actions. The result was a maintainable, secure, and user-focused codebase that improved business value and developer velocity.

Jan 1, 2026January 2026 highlights for DFE-Digital/find-a-buying-solution focused on delivering a cleaner homepage experience, stabilizing background jobs, and strengthening localization and test infrastructure. Key features delivered include: Homepage Featured Offers Enhancements (defined sort order, visible items limited to 3, refined display logic, with a focused fix to feature card focus states) and Procurement Help Link restoration on the homepage to improve access to procurement resources. Major bug fix: Redis connection pool stability addressed by downgrading Sidekiq and connection_pool gems to prevent background job failures. Additional improvements encompassed Localization and Code Quality (cleanup of unused locale keys, updated translations, RuboCop alignment) and Testing Infrastructure for Offers (updated specs and regenerated VCR cassettes). Business value: more consistent homepage UX, fewer runtime failures, and more reliable tests reduce risk of deployments and speed up releases. Technologies/skills demonstrated: Rails, Sidekiq/Redis, gem version management, RuboCop, I18n, and test tooling (RSpec, VCR).
