Sam Carter
Worked on the DFE-Digital/check-an-early-years-qualification repository, delivering features and infrastructure improvements over four months. Enhanced user experience by refining error and warning message placement in the ProvideDetails view using ASP.NET MVC and C#. Improved infrastructure as code quality by refactoring Terraform configuration for better readability and maintainability. Strengthened test reliability and CI/CD efficiency through Playwright-based end-to-end and visual regression testing, optimizing GitHub Actions workflows and accessibility checks with JavaScript and YAML. Maintained clear commit discipline and traceability, focusing on robust, maintainable solutions that reduced test flakiness, improved feedback loops, and ensured the codebase remained aligned with evolving UI requirements.

Dec 1, 2025December 2025 – DFE-Digital/check-an-early-years-qualification: Focused on strengthening test reliability and CI/CD efficiency for the project. Delivered a CI/CD Testing and Validation Enhancements feature that added a robust checkout step, Playwright setup, parallel test execution, dependency ordering, accessibility tests, and npm install optimizations. Also stabilized end-to-end tests by reverting Playwright workers back to 1 to address performance/resource concerns, improving predictability of builds. These changes contributed to faster feedback, fewer flaky tests, and more deterministic release readiness.
