During a two-month period, Brian Quint worked on backend and configuration management tasks in the lsst-ts/ts_config_ocs repository, focusing on scheduler reliability for embedded systems. He overhauled the OCSScheduler configuration for BLOCK-T3 and BLOCK-T4, replacing fragile symbolic links with stable file-based and relative configurations to improve maintainability and support future rework. Using Python and shell scripting, Brian also fixed and streamlined MTScheduler test execution by updating TMA settings and correcting the m2hex warm-up sequence for BLOCK-T3, ensuring initialization steps remained within intended bounds. His work reduced deployment risk and enabled faster, more reliable iteration cycles for the team.

In November 2024, completed a critical MTScheduler configuration fix in lsst-ts/ts_config_ocs to correct and constrain the m2hex warm-up sequence for BLOCK-T3. This improves initialization reliability by ensuring warm-up steps and parameter ranges stay within intended bounds, reducing deployment risk and increasing startup stability. The change is tracked in commit 654ffc294d470c0b4a212d272fd1d622a54c321c.
