Over six months, contributed to the embedded-purdue/slayterHIL repository by developing thirteen features and resolving critical bugs across embedded systems, focusing on SPI communication, modular architecture, and build automation. Delivered robust device drivers and bootloader integration using C and Zephyr RTOS, enabling dual-core boot and reliable inter-processor communication on ESP32 platforms. Enhanced project maintainability through documentation improvements, repository restructuring, and submodule management. Automated deployment workflows for Nucleo boards with Bash and Python scripting, and introduced data structures for accurate sensor emulation. These efforts improved onboarding, hardware-software interoperability, and CI/CD reliability, supporting scalable, maintainable development in real-time embedded environments.
March 2026: Focused on stabilizing and accelerating hardware deployment and improving sensor emulation capabilities for embedded HIL. Delivered automation for Nucleo board flashing/monitoring via Justfile, introduced a dedicated RC command data structure for accurate sensor emulation, and resolved critical Justfile merge conflicts to stabilize the CI/CD pipeline. These changes reduce deployment time, increase testing fidelity, and strengthen developer productivity.
