Work History

May 2026

19 Commits • 5 Features

May 1, 2026

May 2026 focused on delivering core business value and improving stability across pension workflows. Key work included integrating and hardening the test order flow with the new treatment application, retiring the legacy vedtaksvurdering path to simplify the decision-making surface, and consolidating data models with targeted memory/SQL optimizations. In parallel, the notification pipeline gained UUID-based IDs and improved traceability, while safeguards were added to skip notifications for problematic applications and prevent duplicates. The combined effort reduces risk, speeds up processing, and improves observability for pension cases.

February 2026 — navikt/pensjon-etterlatte-saksbehandling Overview: Focused on reducing data exposure, improving data accuracy, and enhancing operational reliability through targeted feature work and performance fixes across the year’s payments and treatment flows. Key outcomes: - Privacy-conscious logging: stopped logging errors for deceased individuals without identification, removed the logging toggle, and log only essential identifiers to reduce noise and potential exposure. - PGI data handling: switched to summertPgi for income display; secured PGI fetch by sending fnr in the POST body; migrated calls to sigrun-q2 for data retrieval. - OMS letter flow: updated to a new brevbaker format; corrected calculation attachment codes; removed feature toggle; streamlined helper usage. - Period gap analysis and job maintenance: introduced a gap-detection job; optimized period handling and memory usage; removed deprecated gap-counting job for better performance. - Income-year handling with sanctions: refined rules to allow omissions when sanctions cover the whole year; restored sanctions-presence logic and simplified repair flow to avoid copying unnecessary annual reports. - Open-treatments and termination carry-over: added reopen flow for tasks with open treatments; clarified which termination continuation to use and hid non-editable actions. Impact: - Improved data privacy, accuracy of PGI and income representations, and reliability of batch jobs and communications. Technologies and skills demonstrated: - Data security and privacy practices (fnr in POST body, reduced log exposure) - API migrations and endpoint changes (sigrun-q2) - Batch job design, memory management, and deprecation handling - Data integrity and compliance in income-year and sanctions flow - Refactoring and test-data handling (testdata-behandler)

November 2025 (navikt/pensjon-etterlatte-saksbehandling) focused on strengthening case processing reliability, governance, and observability. Key features delivered include guardian shielding handling with a feature toggle and re-enabled BP shielding job, ensuring cases with protected guardians are shielded consistently; improved PDL identifier error handling with 404 on invalid identifiers and enhanced logging for traceability; and after-settlement processing enhancements to guarantee at least one annual settlement decision per year, fix incomplete processing, and support missing settlements for new years. Additional improvements covered income calculation/workflow, including allowing null deceased names in brev-DTO, omitting unnecessary adjustments when the reassessment reason is not annual income, and enabling manual adjustments when overrides are detected. A broader cleanup and reliability drive included marking irrelevant tasks as aborted, reducing log noise while ensuring missing/no annual settlements are logged; data model simplification removing HendelseId and sekvensnummer from pre-processing to streamline case handling. These changes collectively reduce risk, shorten processing cycles, improve regulatory compliance, and increase system observability and testability. Technologies and skills demonstrated include feature flag governance, robust error handling, resilient batch/workflow processing, enhanced logging and observability, data model simplification for faster pre-processing, targeted refactoring, and solid changes in data quality checks to drive reliable settlement processing.
