Worked on the govuk-one-login/data-analytics-platform repository, delivering secure QuickSight dashboard embedding with Cognito and API Gateway, and building Lambda functions for OAuth code exchange and Redshift error alerting. Refactored the ETL data processing pipeline, improving S3 partitioning, schema evolution, and NULL handling using Python and Pandas. Enhanced CI/CD reliability by hardening permissions, escaping edge-case commit messages, and centralizing Quicksight packaging workflows with GitHub Actions and YAML. Improved observability through CloudWatch alarms, SNS notifications, and Slack integration for Step Functions failures. Focused on robust data engineering, infrastructure as code, and operational visibility to support reliable analytics and secure dashboard access.
October 2025 highlights for govuk-one-login/data-analytics-platform: delivered a secure QuickSight embedding flow using Cognito and API Gateway, including OAuth redirects and a Lambda to exchange authorization codes for embed URLs; removed the deprecated Quicksight API Gateway config to streamline access. Introduced Redshift error alerting with a Lambda and CloudWatch/SNS workflow that notifies Slack on Step Functions failures, improving incident visibility. Completed platform maintenance to harden CI/CD permissions and clean debug logging in the DAP Lambda, reducing noise and strengthening security. Overall, these efforts enhance secure dashboard access, improve operational visibility, and streamline release reliability.
