Lovre Schonauer contributed to the SkillsFundingAgency/dfc-coursedirectory and dfc-servicetaxonomy-editor repositories by building reusable UI components, stabilizing deployment pipelines, and enhancing data integrity. He developed a standardized website input component using ASP.NET Core and Razor Pages, aligning the UI with the GOV.UK design system and improving testability. In backend work, Lovre implemented automatic de-linking of Apprenticeship Standards in Cosmos DB to prevent orphaned references and improved error handling for API endpoints. His DevOps scripting in PowerShell stabilized SIT deployments by refining permissions and deployment logic. The work demonstrated depth in C#, Azure, and data management practices.

June 2025 (dfc-servicetaxonomy-editor): Delivered a data-integrity feature, improved error diagnosability, refined UI text, and stabilized the branch state. Key contributions include automatic de-linking of Apprenticeship Standards on deletion, explicit null/error handling for Cosmos DB endpoints, a UI text fix for Apprenticeship Standards, and merging development changes to keep the mainline aligned with the develop branch. These changes reduce orphaned references, improve troubleshooting, enhance UX accuracy, and support safer deployment.

May 2025 monthly summary focused on stabilizing SIT deployments in dfc-servicetaxonomy-editor and tightening environment-specific permissions. Reused proven DevOps changes from a prior ticket to address SIT deployment errors and adjusted deployment scripting to rely on a hardcoded Service Principal Object ID. Also removed dynamic CDN role assignment logic to avoid permission drift in targeted environments, with changes committed for traceability.

February 2025 monthly work summary for SkillsFundingAgency/dfc-coursedirectory focused on component standardization and UI consistency. Delivered a reusable 'website-input' component shared across T Level and Venue pages, with a uniform tag helper prefix and GOV.UK design system-aligned styling. Improved error handling and updated labels and tests to reflect the new component. Performed code cleanup and test-related changes (including adding an id to a span in the tag helper) to ensure unit tests pass, reducing maintenance overhead and enabling faster UI changes across the site.
