Worked on the PurdueElectricRacing/firmware repository, focusing on stability and maintenance of the network stack. Addressed a key bug by updating the Wiznet/W5500 submodule reference to a newer commit, ensuring that recent fixes from the W5500 module were integrated into the main firmware. This approach improved network reliability and reduced integration risk by aligning the firmware with upstream changes. Emphasized traceability and maintainability through clear, auditable commits. Utilized C and Git for submodule management and firmware integration, prioritizing robust network behavior and operational stability. The work centered on backend reliability rather than feature development, reflecting a depth in maintenance engineering.
