Resident self-service for UK local authorities
Self-service waste portals for multiple UK councils, each a Laravel application integrated with the back-office waste management platform over its API. Together they serve millions of residents.
Lead engineer • Client portal
Over 1,100 PHPUnit tests and 88 Playwright tests
An account portal where a council's business customers manage their sites, contacts, orders and documents. The Playwright suite drives a real browser against the test environment in phases: one saved login, read-only checks in parallel, then write and session tests in series, with anything that creates real data kept behind an opt-in flag.
Lead engineer • Client portal
Tested at every level, from unit to load
Subcontractors browse and bid on available work, submit completed jobs with photos, and manage pricing, documents and users across four roles. Over 500 PHPUnit tests fake every external API call and assert on call counts and payload shapes, backed by a route-by-role access matrix, Dusk browser tests, Playwright end-to-end checks and k6 load-test journeys.
Lead engineer • Client portal
Client staff change the portal without a developer
A super-admin area built into a customer portal so the client's own staff can run it themselves. They switch tabs and services on or off globally or per customer, schedule bilingual banners aimed at everyone, one customer type or named accounts, edit translations, manage help videos, and export settings from one environment to import into another. Every change lands in an audit trail with before and after values, alongside a system health page, a log viewer and a test runner that streams results in the browser. Its switches are a ceiling, not a floor: off removes a feature for everyone, on still leaves the role checks in place.
