Josh Gray developed and enhanced document generation, data export, and confidentiality features across the hmcts/prl-cos-api and related repositories. He implemented confidentiality-aware C8 document workflows, improved CSV outputs for Non-Molestation Orders, and introduced robust PDF extraction and password-protected ZIP services. Using Java, Spring Boot, and TypeScript, Josh refactored backend services to support internationalization, regional address handling, and feature-flag-driven localization. His work included updating integration tests, refining error handling, and aligning configuration for secure, compliant data processing. These contributions improved data quality, accessibility, and operational reliability, demonstrating depth in backend development, API integration, and secure document management solutions.

October 2025 focused on enhancing data quality and CSV delivery for Acro-related outputs in the hmcts/prl-cos-api.
