Over eleven months, contributed to open-formulieren/open-forms by delivering 31 features and resolving key bugs, focusing on payment modernization, form management, and process reliability. Led the migration from Ogone to Worldline payments, enhanced API endpoints, and improved backend validation to align with frontend error handling. Applied Django and Python to strengthen data integrity, security, and observability, while refining CI/CD workflows and documentation for maintainability. Introduced robust logging, filename sanitization, and flexible form configuration, supporting both frontend and backend development with React and CSS. The work emphasized test-driven development, localization, and streamlined deployment, reducing maintenance overhead and improving user experience.
June 2026: Key strides in payment modernization and security hardening for open-formulieren/open-forms. Removed Ogone plugin and migrated to Worldline-powered payments; implemented comprehensive filename sanitization to strengthen security and consistency across file handling; cleaned up legacy Ogone references (docs, models, admin references) to reduce maintenance burden. These changes streamline payments, harden file handling, and set the stage for upcoming rendering improvements.

March 2026 focused on delivering V3 Form Endpoint enhancements and reliability improvements across email notifications and DigiD OIDC error handling. Key commits underpinning the work included 0f2b224cb7f553d0e46d542aeb2cb5b8f672259d, aef21cc32ce797181efaf6a1fe2a051671d91426, 96ed4a855e13ddbda170d2a6eb4355979485f510, 9547bf742e319a3dd57568694b256f755af090b0, and 39b2d8ce5c5a9ebca371f12043b2515046b5337d. These changes implement: (1) confirmation_email_template on the v3 form endpoint, (2) registration_backends support for multiple registration backends, and (3) payment-related fields for forms on the v3 endpoint; (4) prevention of duplicate email notifications when payment status updates occur without configured email addresses; and (5) improved DigiD OIDC error handling by mapping Signicat error codes to Open Forms error codes to better report user cancellations. Business impact includes improved customer communications, flexible backend integration, reduced duplicate notifications, clearer error reporting, and a smoother user journey with lower support load.
