Worked on the rsx-rover repository to deliver two foundational features focused on embedded systems and robotics. Developed a SparkMAX power payload utility in Python, enabling safe conversion of power percentages into CAN bus payloads for motor control, with built-in clamping to prevent unsafe values. Established and refined local test scaffolding, ensuring that new commits could be reliably verified and obsolete test artifacts were systematically cleaned up. Emphasized maintainability and repeatable testing processes, laying groundwork for future development. The work prioritized code health and business value by improving test reliability and safe power control, without addressing major bug fixes during this period.
