Over a two-month period, contributed to DEFRA’s backend systems by enhancing test automation and ensuring data integrity. In DEFRA/fg-gas-backend, developed robust integration tests for the Grant system using Node.js and JavaScript, introducing a new grant fixture to validate both successful and error scenarios for grant submissions. This work improved schema coverage and strengthened data validation processes. Later, in DEFRA/fg-cw-backend, implemented a database migration to enforce unique task titles within the pigs-might-fly workflow, addressing a potential duplication issue. The migration included a rollback mechanism, demonstrating careful backend development and database migration skills focused on reliability and maintainability.
September 2025 monthly summary for DEFRA/fg-cw-backend: Focused on data integrity in the pigs-might-fly workflow. Implemented a database migration to ensure unique titles for two tasks, addressing a potential collision that could impact task sequencing and reporting. Included a rollback path to revert changes if needed, reducing deployment risk. The change aligns with issue #209 and is implemented in commit cc39049c02ff5c666872e8fe44544ff36fcfd988.
