Worked on the concordia-fsae/firmware repository, focusing on embedded systems and vehicle control over a three-month period. Delivered adaptive GPIO configuration to support multiple hardware versions from a single C codebase, using conditional compilation to streamline hardware integration and reduce maintenance. Improved build reliability by fixing Docker-based image tag propagation, ensuring deterministic firmware builds and smoother releases. Enhanced safety and input accuracy by refining pedal input mappings and introducing a brake-gated run mode, enforcing safety checks at startup. Utilized C, Shell scripting, and DevOps practices to address both hardware and software challenges, emphasizing maintainability, modularity, and robust control system behavior.
June 2025: Delivered safety-critical and reliability improvements for the firmware in concordia-fsae/firmware. The work focused on refining input accuracy, enforcing safety checks, and ensuring robust default behavior to reduce risk and improve operator confidence.

March 2025 monthly summary for concordia-fsae/firmware. Focus this month was stabilizing the firmware build pipeline with a critical bug fix rather than introducing new features. No new features delivered this month; major work centered on ensuring deterministic builds and preventing image tag drift. Key features delivered: None this month. Major bugs fixed: Buildroot Image Tag Propagation in Docker Pull — ensured the IMAGE_TAG environment variable is correctly passed to the docker-compose pull command during Buildroot image fetch, guaranteeing builds use the specified image tag consistently. Impact and accomplishments: Improves build reproducibility and release reliability by eliminating tag mismatches, reducing deployment errors, and shortening troubleshooting cycles for firmware releases. Technologies/skills demonstrated: Docker, Buildroot, docker-compose, environment variable propagation, build pipeline debugging, and maintainability practices for a stable release process. Reference commit: caa1c31f436675cb847c56191e044dfce9d3c46e.
