OWASP BLT HackerHouse: Real-Time Open Source Contributor Visualization
An intern at OWASP BLT built HackerHouse, a real-time platform that visualizes contributor activity in an interactive virtual house. The project faced a GitHub-to-GitLab migration mid-development, requiring rapid adaptation. The backend handles event processing, webhooks, and WebSocket-based real-time updates.

A solid open-source project update, but the real story is how quickly the team pivoted during an infrastructure crisis—a lesson in resilience for any developer community.
