Michael Cyrwus enhanced the ISSUIUC/MIDAS-Software repository by implementing a time-based transition within its finite state machine, enabling more predictable progression from BURNOUT to FIRST_SEPARATION states. He improved data handling by updating string constants for height and speed, which clarified parameter usage and supported better data integrity. Michael also introduced new data parameters and CSV support, streamlining data ingestion and export for analysis and reporting workflows. Working primarily in Python, he demonstrated skills in software testing and finite state machine design. The work focused on targeted, maintainable improvements, addressing specific needs in state management and data processing within the project.
