How This System Works

Architecture

Event-driven system leveraging GitHub webhooks for real-time student activity monitoring, with scheduled career tracking and intelligent routing of human attention to highest-value activities.

Data Flow

Student code activity flows from GitHub through intelligent analysis to Airtable records, triggering appropriate notifications in Slack. Career tracking runs weekly cycles to maintain consistent alumni support.
