January 2026 PX4/PX4-Autopilot monthly summary focusing on build modernization and enabling modern C++17 language features. Delivered a repository-wide build-system change to enforce C++17, enabling features such as std::in_place_t and aligning with current code assumptions. The change is tracked by commit 598066653a1e03721cd26ac22b3a3740d3040f3f (cmake: set CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD 17 to match code assumptions (#25767)).

Month: 2025-10 — Focused on robustness and code quality for the PX4/PX4-Autopilot Gazebo integration and sensor code. Delivered targeted fixes that improve simulation fidelity, reduce runtime warnings, and streamline maintenance. Key outcomes include two bug fixes with concrete commits, contributing to more reliable CI builds and safer flight simulations. Technologies demonstrated include C++, Gazebo, and build tooling; business impact includes lower risk of simulation inaccuracies and faster issue resolution.

2025-01: Delivered a critical bug fix in psleng/vyos-1x to ensure DHCP lease expiry times are calculated correctly in all timezone contexts by replacing deprecated utcfromtimestamp with datetime.fromtimestamp(..., timezone.utc). This change eliminates TypeError when mixing offset-naive and offset-aware datetimes and improves robustness of DHCP lease management. No new features released this month; focus was stabilizing core timing calculations to support reliable DHCP operation.
