Worked on the NHSDigital/nbs-appointments-management-service repository, delivering features and fixes across backend and frontend to improve appointment scheduling, data integrity, and user experience. Built and enhanced RESTful APIs for daily and weekly availability, booking, and cancellation, integrating C# and TypeScript with Azure Functions and React for robust workflows. Refactored data models and validation logic, implemented granular access control, and expanded test coverage using unit, integration, and end-to-end testing. Addressed UI consistency, error handling, and navigation, while maintaining code quality through regular refactoring and PR hygiene. The work resulted in more reliable scheduling, streamlined workflows, and maintainable codebases.
