Worked on the Vertical-Farming-IB3/Plan-T repository, delivering hardware and documentation improvements over four months. Developed and refined 3D models for connectors and water system components, enabling accurate assembly planning and manufacturing visualization. Established and iteratively enhanced the Watersysteem PCB design using KiCad, focusing on schematic capture, component integration, and manufacturability. Integrated Bill of Materials management with IBom, improving traceability and production readiness. Enhanced documentation with Markdown and HTML, reorganizing project structure for better onboarding and cross-team collaboration. Demonstrated disciplined version control and technical writing, ensuring that hardware, software, and documentation changes were consistently tracked and accessible for stakeholders.
March 2025 Monthly Summary for Vertical-Farming-IB3/Plan-T: Delivered consolidated Watersysteem PCB design refinements, BOM management improvements via IBom integration, and documentation enhancements to support manufacturing and maintenance. The work focused on PCB layout refinements (new connectors/footprints, vias, silkscreen, logo integration), updated Gerber/drill outputs, and streamlined BOM tooling and formatting. Documentation updates include PCB.md and Watersysteem.md; a BOM was generated and IBom integration added, improving traceability and manufacturing readiness. No explicit major bugs reported; the month established a stronger hardware design-to-manufacture pipeline with improved documentation and version-controlled changes.

February 2025 monthly summary for Vertical-Farming-IB3/Plan-T focused on delivering manufacturing-ready hardware improvements and establishing a scalable hardware foundation. Key work included 3D model refinements for Plan-T and the addition of an outer cabinet shell to enable more accurate manufacturing and visualization, along with the initial setup and continuous enhancement of the Watersysteem PCB design in KiCad. The PCB work involved core component selection, iterative schematic and footprint updates (diodes, MCP23017 IO expander, LEDs, switch footprint, mounting holes) and comprehensive layout/documentation improvements across nine commits to improve functionality and manufacturability. There were no explicit bug fixes logged in this data set; the improvements effectively addressed issues related to bottom-fit accuracy, footprint correctness, and production documentation, reducing subsequent manufacturing risk. Overall impact: established a robust hardware design foundation for Plan-T, enabling faster onboarding for manufacturing partners, clearer stakeholder visualization, and scalable production readiness. The work demonstrates strong discipline in hardware development, including design-for-manufacturing, documentation, and cross-domain collaboration.
