Worked on the ministryofjustice/hmpps-find-and-refer-an-intervention-service and related UI, delivering features that improved data flow, security, observability, and deployment reliability. Built and enhanced REST APIs, integrated Delius and Prometheus, and implemented Spring Batch jobs for CSV-based data ingestion using Kotlin and Java. Strengthened access control and error monitoring with OAuth2, Sentry, and Application Insights, while enforcing UUID immutability and refining CI/CD pipelines with GitHub Actions and Docker. Upgraded Node.js and standardized deployment images for consistency. Focused on configuration management, input validation, and test coverage, enabling safer releases and more maintainable code across backend and frontend services.
April 2026: Key CI/CD reliability enhancement for the HMPS Find and Refer an Intervention Service. Implemented deterministic CI by pinning the GitHub Actions checkout to a specific commit (188e2aa990624c971dba98b2e8268cac1b4c4350), reducing flaky builds and improving release predictability. This work strengthens release governance and accelerates delivery while minimizing risk during deployments.
