Built a concurrent Go-based CI data collector using goroutines and semaphore-bounded parallelism to fetch workflow runs, job metrics, and failure logs across multiple pipelines simultaneously, minimizing total collection time. Engineered an automated incident notification system that opens, updates, and deduplicates GitHub Issues on consecutive critical workflow failures, with log analysis, failure categorization, driven by a single config.yaml. Deployed an end-to-end CI observability platform on GitHub Pages with scheduled GitHub Actions automation, surfacing real-time pipeline health, per-workflow failure rates, and run-level drill-down for the open-source Urunc project.
