Worked on stabilizing the C++ build pipeline for the ls1intum/Artemis repository by addressing a critical issue with runtime error messages. Implemented a solution to remove ANSI color codes from error outputs, introducing a strip_ansi_codes function to clean XML output and enable deterministic test result parsing. This approach reduced build crashes and minimized flaky test runs, leading to a more reliable CI process and faster feedback for the development team. Demonstrated expertise in Python, XML processing, and CI/CD tooling while focusing on improving build reliability and allowing the team to concentrate on feature delivery within a stable pipeline environment.
