Umair Farooqui developed and maintained the performance-testing framework for the govuk-one-login/performance-testing repository, focusing on scalable load testing and authentication reliability. Over 11 months, he engineered and refined test profiles to simulate real-world peak and spike traffic, enabling early detection of bottlenecks and supporting capacity planning. His work integrated TypeScript and JavaScript with k6 for scripting, leveraging JWT authentication and AWS Signature V4 to ensure secure, realistic test scenarios. By automating end-to-end and backend tests, optimizing test data management, and standardizing load profiles, Umair delivered robust, maintainable tooling that improved release confidence and accelerated feedback for critical authentication flows.

October 2025 performance-focused delivery Highlights: A new peak load testing profile for the authentication system was added to the performance-testing suite, expanding coverage for peak user scenarios and enabling better capacity planning and reliability assessments.
