PROFILE

Jacob Gordon

Worked on stabilizing CAN communications and improving initialization and testing infrastructure for the waterloo-rocketry/cansw_processor_canards repository. Focused on enhancing the reliability of the CAN handler by refactoring the CAN TX API, restructuring the initialization sequence, and refining task startup wiring. Strengthened the test infrastructure to validate CAN startup and TX/RX flow, reducing the risk of configuration issues during boot cycles and testing. Utilized C and embedded systems expertise, along with RTOS concepts, to deliver safer deployments and enable faster iteration on CAN-related features. The work emphasized robust, test-driven development for critical real-time subsystems in embedded flight software.
