Richard Mohammed contributed to the ministryofjustice/opg-paper-identity and opg-sirius-supervision-deputy-hub repositories by delivering robust identity verification flows, modernizing data processing, and enhancing API routing. He engineered features such as dual-address management and centralized case data updates, applying object-oriented programming and TypeScript to improve data integrity and maintainability. In Go and PHP, Richard upgraded HTTP routing, migrated API endpoints, and implemented error handling and logging to support system stability. His work included end-to-end testing with Cypress, UI/UX refinements, and security improvements, demonstrating depth in backend and frontend development while ensuring feature reliability, test coverage, and maintainable codebases across projects.

July 2025 monthly summary: Implemented a Document Infection Scanning feature in ministryofjustice/opg-sirius-supervision-deputy-hub (backend+frontend) to scan documents before downloads, including an infected flag on Document, UI warnings, and blocking of infected downloads. The feature was rolled back within the month to revert infection scanning logic and related UI, effectively disabling virus scanning for document downloads. In parallel, enhanced end-to-end testing for Sirius end-to-end-tests by refactoring Cypress tests to robustly interact with iframes in rich text editors, validating content post-publish, with added support for HugeRTE (commit 24d053aad4036264fc374a51a7599301799dd0cf).
