Christine contributed to the UCSolarCarTeam/Helios-Telemetry repository by developing real-time telemetry features and improving UI reliability. She implemented an MQTT-based pipeline for lap data, using TypeScript and asynchronous programming to ensure robust error handling and scalable real-time dashboards. Christine also explored a WebSocket-based integration for Grafana, establishing reusable configuration patterns before rolling back the approach to maintain system stability. On the front end, she enhanced dark mode support and accessibility by refactoring dynamic material handling for 3D car components and correcting semantic markup. Her work addressed both backend data delivery and frontend visual consistency, demonstrating thoughtful, full-stack engineering depth.
January 2026: Focused on evaluating and enabling real-time telemetry delivery for UCSolarCarTeam/Helios-Telemetry. Delivered an MQTT-based publishing pipeline for lap data with asynchronous processing and robust error handling, establishing a reliable path for real-time dashboards. Explored a WebSocket-based real-time data path for Grafana integration, including environment-driven configuration and a reusable WebSocket class, and created Grafana Telemetry Visualizer setup documentation; this WebSocket approach was subsequently rolled back to preserve stability while reassessing the real-time strategy. Performed maintenance work to improve code health by removing unused dependencies and aligning runtime/build dependencies. Resulting work positions the telemetry stack for scalable real-time insights and faster issue detection, with a clear plan for future real-time improvements.

October 2025 monthly summary for UCSolarCarTeam/Helios-Telemetry focused on UI reliability and visual correctness under Dark Mode and improved control semantics. Key UI fixes included dynamic material handling for car components when the isClear prop is active, and color accuracy for dark mode icons (including parking brake). Also corrected map controls markup to use appropriate semantic elements, enhancing accessibility and maintainability. These changes improve user experience in dark contexts and stabilize visual presentation across the telemetry dashboard.
