PROFILE

Daniel Sawka

Worked across the Phoenix-RTOS ecosystem to deliver core system features, stability improvements, and hardware enablement, focusing on embedded systems and low-level programming in C and Shell. Developed flexible build systems and device drivers in phoenix-rtos-project and phoenix-rtos-ports, enabling architecture-specific configurations and streamlined hardware bring-up. Enhanced inter-CPU communication and memory management through mailbox protocols, FIFOs, and shared memory, while improving watchdog reliability and partitioning robustness. Addressed build and runtime issues by refining linker scripts, shell scripts, and CSS for documentation. Coordinated cross-repository updates to strengthen signal handling, process management, and test coverage, contributing to maintainable, forward-compatible RTOS development.
