Self-Healing Kubernetes CI/CD Pipeline with AI Log Anomaly Detection
Engineered an automated observability pipeline that ingests Kubernetes container logs, flags runtime memory spikes or deadlocks, and automatically recommends or executes configuration rollbacks.
High false-alarm rates during deliberate rolling updates require suppression windows during planned maintenance deployments.

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