PROFILE
Daniel Bishara
Developed and enhanced embedded firmware for the UWaterloo-Formula-Electric/firmware repository, focusing on vehicle control, sensor calibration, and fault monitoring over a four-month period. Leveraged C and Python to implement features such as interrupt-driven input handling, current sensing with telemetry, and robust fault detection logic. Improved system reliability by refactoring hardware abstraction layers, optimizing STM32 microcontroller configurations, and introducing macros for code clarity. Advanced calibration workflows for throttle and brake inputs, aligning software with mechanical updates and safety requirements. Emphasized maintainability and data integrity through disciplined refactoring, centralized CAN-based data handling, and enhanced real-time diagnostics within an RTOS environment.
