Oct 1, 2025Month: 2025-10 performance summary for defra-design/cpr-prototype. Focused on delivering user onboarding improvements, compliance flow refinements, and scalable content updates across the registration, certificate of compliance (CoC), and communications paths. Key bugs fixed included post-review issues and content regressions such as reintroducing the declaration in large and small registration flows and updating before-you-start content to reflect latest guidance. Overall impact: clearer user guidance, more consistent journeys across split and unified registration paths, improved eligibility/compliance workflow, and streamlined communications. Technologies and skills demonstrated: UX writing and content strategy, flow design, post-review QA, and cross-functional collaboration across design, product, and content teams, with extensive use of commit-driven iterative delivery to DEFRA's CPR prototype repository.

Nov 1, 2024November 2024: Delivered major front-end and data-service updates in the defra-design CPR prototype, focusing on the Report packaging data service for Subsidiaries and Producers Management UI and updates to glass calculation views. Implemented a new onboarding flow for individual subsidiaries (including company details, Companies House number, nation, and reporting method), subsidiary listing/search, landing pages for compliance schemes, CSV upload/add flows, and a refactored navigation. Added a language switcher, error handling pages, and targeted UI refinements; refined CSS and layout with several tweaks. Glass calculations were updated to reflect revised recycling targets and notation, clarifying variable usage and regulatory year references to ensure accuracy and regulatory compliance. Across both areas, the work enhances data management, user experience, and alignment with the new service framing, delivering tangible business value by improving producer onboarding, data quality, and compliance visibility.
