PROFILE

Sam Carter

Worked on the DFE-Digital/check-an-early-years-qualification repository, delivering features that enhanced test reliability, infrastructure clarity, and workflow automation. Focused on stabilizing Playwright-based visual regression and end-to-end testing by refining viewport handling, screenshot thresholds, and snapshot synchronization, which reduced test flakiness and improved UI test accuracy. Improved CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions and JavaScript, optimizing parallel test execution, dependency management, and accessibility checks for faster, more predictable builds. Additionally, refactored Terraform configuration for storage account queue properties, increasing readability and maintainability. Demonstrated a methodical approach to infrastructure as code, testing automation, and continuous integration using JavaScript, TypeScript, and HCL.

December 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.
