Model & Execution Context:Prometheus, Grafana Loki, Mistral-7B-Instruct fine-tune for root cause analysis.
Scope & Limitations

High false-alarm rates during deliberate rolling updates require suppression windows during planned maintenance deployments.

Automated Code Review and PR Triage AI Assistant

Built a GitHub Action and webhook bot that analyzes incoming pull requests, identifies security vulnerabilities and formatting anti-patterns, and generates unit test coverage proposals automatically.

Model & Execution Context:Claude 3.5 Sonnet, GitHub Octokit API, AST tree-sitter parsers.
Scope & Limitations

Large pull requests exceeding 2,000 lines require chunking across logical Git commits to fit within prompt context ceilings.
