PROFILE

Alexander Kozhinov

Alexander Kozhinov developed and integrated hardware drivers and peripheral support for STM32 microcontrollers in the AmbiqMicro/ambiqzephyr and zephyrproject-rtos/zephyr repositories. He focused on building and testing device drivers for external interrupts, comparators, and op-amps, using C and YAML to implement Device Tree bindings and hardware abstraction layers. His work included enhancing interrupt controller APIs, automating pin configuration, and aligning driver interfaces for cross-family compatibility. By emphasizing test coverage and documentation, Alexander improved reliability and maintainability across the codebase. The depth of his engineering ensured robust hardware integration, streamlined platform onboarding, and reduced regression risk for embedded Zephyr RTOS projects.

April 2025 - AmbiqMicro/ambiqzephyr: Delivered enhanced test coverage for the STM32 EXTI driver, strengthening interrupt reliability and QA confidence. Implemented comprehensive tests for enabling EXTI lines with rising, falling, and both edge triggers, and added software-interrupt simulations to validate ISR invocation across the interrupt controller. These tests are integrated into the project’s test suite, with the work tracked in commit 2d4a1196a23a4c37c24b830b79218bfb77e4c4d0. Impact: reduces regression risk for STM32 interrupt paths, accelerates CI feedback, and improves maintainability of the interrupt-driver code. Skills demonstrated: embedded C/C++, test-driven development, STM32 EXTI and interrupt-controller testing, Zephyr testing framework, Git-based traceability.
