Danish Bishara developed and enhanced embedded firmware for the UWaterloo-Formula-Electric/firmware repository over four months, focusing on vehicle control, sensor calibration, and fault monitoring. He implemented robust current sensing, improved precharge and IMD integration, and refactored hardware abstraction layers to streamline data handling and increase system reliability. Using C and Makefile, Danish optimized STM32 microcontroller configurations, introduced interrupt-driven input handling, and enhanced calibration workflows for throttle and brake inputs. His work emphasized maintainability and clarity through disciplined refactoring and macro-based readability improvements, addressing evolving hardware requirements and enabling safer, more responsive control systems without introducing regressions or functional ambiguity.

May 2025 firmware work focused on delivering throttle and brake input calibration enhancements for the UWaterloo-Formula-Electric/firmware repo, tightening input accuracy, responsiveness, and safety after calibration changes. The work also advanced calibration reliability through updated plausibility checks and throttle tuning aligned with mechanical fixes.
