Nia Evans developed and enhanced intervention and case management features across the ministryofjustice/hmpps-find-and-refer-an-intervention-ui and hmpps-accredited-programmes-manage-and-deliver-api repositories. She implemented robust search, error handling, and auditing in TypeScript and Node.js, improving user experience and data integrity. Nia refactored UI components for GOV.UK branding, introduced role-based access control, and expanded telemetry using Azure Application Insights. In the API, she delivered RBAC-secured endpoints and advanced filtering with Java Spring Boot and JPA/Hibernate, supporting multi-team workflows and consistent data formats. Her work emphasized maintainable code, reliable integration, and comprehensive test coverage, resulting in stable, user-focused solutions for justice sector applications.

October 2025: Delivered critical data and API improvements for HM Prison Accredited Programmes API. Key features deployed: referral_reporting_location seed to bootstrap reporting locations; case list filtering (PDU and multi-team) with integration tests; and bug fix to standardize updatedAt in StatusHistory to ISO 8601 via Jackson. Impact: stronger data integrity, faster, more flexible reporting; improved multi-team workflows and consistent API date formatting. Skills demonstrated include API design, data seeding, advanced filtering, test coverage, JSON date handling with Jackson, and cross-team collaboration.

June 2025: Delivered reliability, UX, and governance improvements for the Find and Refer an Intervention UI. Key outcomes include robust search error handling with explicit 403 handling and an in-form error summary, corrected data modeling for deliveryFormat and attendanceType to single-string values, enabling auditing in development and deployments with new AUDIT_SERVICE_NAME and SQS secret configuration, and dedicated error pages with revamped middleware and tests. These changes improve user experience, data integrity, and traceability across environments, delivering measurable business value and maintainable code quality. Technologies demonstrated: TypeScript/React UI, data modeling, auditing integration (SQS), and middleware-driven error handling.

May 2025 performance highlights across two MoJ UI projects focused on delivering reliable search and user data presentation while stabilizing telemetry. Telemetry stability was restored by rolling back Application Insights to a stable v2 in interventions-ui, and telemetry configuration was similarly aligned in find-and-refer-an-intervention-ui to address v3 issues. In parallel, user-facing features were delivered in find-and-refer-an-intervention-ui, including Service User search by CRN or Prison ID with UI/validation enhancements and improved error handling, along with User Details UI improvements that enhance age display, custody labeling, and DOB formatting. Overall, the work improved search reliability, data accuracy, user experience, and monitoring stability. Business value: reduced support friction due to search errors, more accurate custodial information, and stable telemetry for faster incident detection and debugging. Technical achievements include UI refactors, data alignment with e2e tests, and robust rollback strategies for third-party telemetry dependencies.
