Shiv Agarwal worked on the ISSUIUC/MIDAS-Software repository, focusing on stabilizing LoRa-based radio communication for embedded systems. During this period, he addressed a critical bug in the RF95 module’s header handling, ensuring accurate data packet processing for both reception and transmission. By tuning the main configuration in C++ and refining the handling of implicit LoRa headers, Shiv improved the reliability and integrity of telemetry data across RX/TX paths. His work enhanced the dependability of mission-critical data transmission, demonstrating a strong grasp of embedded systems and radio communication protocols, with a targeted approach to debugging and system-level configuration improvements.
