PROFILE
Blake Freer
Brandon Freer developed modular control and safety systems for the macformula/racecar repository, focusing on maintainability and cross-platform reliability. He refactored the control architecture into testable modules, integrated FreeRTOS for real-time operations, and enhanced CAN bus communication for improved fault detection and telemetry. Using C++ and CMake, Brandon modernized the build system with PlatformIO, streamlined CI/CD workflows, and standardized code formatting to accelerate onboarding and reduce errors. He also established a project roadmap, introduced a thread-safe alerts framework, and laid the foundation for hardware abstraction layers. His work demonstrated depth in embedded systems, build automation, and technical documentation.

Jun 1, 2025June 2025 (macformula/racecar): Delivered a modular, testable control-system architecture with per-module dynamics, significantly improving maintainability and debugging. Implemented a comprehensive accumulator redesign with safety checks and fault detection, enhancing powertrain reliability and fault visibility. Simplified the core architecture by modularizing and removing Governor. Integrated FreeRTOS for FrontController and CAN, with RTOS demo improvements and a targeted bug fix. Organized DBC files and added dashboard alerts/shutdown/error sequences, along with telemetry enhancements (IMD, battery percent, MPH) to improve operator visibility. Completed tooling upgrades and confirmed baseline car functionality remains solid.
