Over six months, contributed to the hmcts/civil-wa-task-configuration and civil-citizen-ui repositories by delivering features and fixes focused on Welsh language support, document workflow automation, and security hardening. Leveraged Java, DMN, and XML to enhance DMN-driven document generation, implement SLA prioritization for Welsh requests, and refine business rules for civil case management. Addressed dependency vulnerabilities and improved maintainability through targeted refactoring and test coverage. Collaborated on configuration management, introduced new roles for governance, and ensured regulatory compliance for bilingual outputs. The work demonstrated a configuration-first approach, careful version control, and a focus on reducing manual intervention in backend workflows.
Month: 2025-09 Key features delivered: - Civil tasks DMN SLA prioritization for Welsh language requests: Updated DMN configuration to set dueDateIntervalDays to 2 for Welsh language requests and translated orders, prioritizing these cases within the system. Commit: 082af248873ae7dbd889c40f58f3473ddc61071a (CIV-17687 sla priority). Major bugs fixed: - None reported for this repository this month. Overall impact and accomplishments: - Improved accessibility and service levels for Welsh language civil tasks; faster prioritization reduces time-to-resolution for language-specific requests and aligns with regulatory expectations. - Maintained a clean, auditable DMN-based SLA change with a single, traceable commit, enabling safer future adjustments. Technologies/skills demonstrated: - DMN rule configuration and back-end workflow prioritization - Rule-based SLA management and case-type targeting - Change traceability via commit messages; configuration-first approach for task routing

In August 2025, delivered a focused bug fix in hmcts/civil-wa-task-configuration: removed the WA task initiation rule for REQUEST_FOR_RECONSIDERATION events from the WA task initiation DMN, preventing unnecessary WA tasks and aligning automation with current business rules. Updated tests (CamundaTaskWaInitiationTest) to reflect the change and ensure no regressions. The change was committed as CIV-17528 with hash f2ab2d8b9814971939b292572ffbe9a27b7c0ea0. Result: reduced task noise, lower processing overhead, and improved maintainability of the DMN rules. Skills demonstrated include DMN rule modeling adjustments, Camunda BPM, test-driven development, and careful version control.

May 2025: Focused on enabling Welsh language workflows in the civil-wa-task-configuration service. Implemented a DMN-driven Welsh translation path for Notice of Discontinuance (uploadTranslatedOrderDocument) when CUI_WELSH is enabled, with test coverage to ensure correct behavior. Also performed a test readability refactor to improve maintainability without changing functionality. Changes align with CIV-16859 and improve notification/docus visibility timing.
