Self-Healing Agent

The Challenge

Production breaks at 3am. Nobody wants that call. But errors don't wait for business hours, and every minute of downtime costs money and trust. The question: can we fix bugs faster than humans can even wake up?

My Approach

I built an autonomous agent that never sleeps. It watches production logs, understands the codebase, and when something breaks, it diagnoses the issue and opens a PR with a fix. Humans review and merge—the agent does the grunt work.

Key Contributions

• Designed autonomous error analysis pipeline using Claude AI
• Implemented automatic PR creation with contextual fixes
• Built CI pipeline monitoring with retry logic (max 3 attempts)
• Added safety constraints: daily limits, budget caps, confidence thresholds
• Created kill switch and emergency override controls
• Implemented learning metrics for calibration improvement

Impact

• Production incidents get diagnosed before anyone wakes up
• Developers stopped dreading on-call rotations
• Fix patterns get learned and reused automatically
• Humans stay in control—agent proposes, team approves
• The system literally improves itself over time
