Worked on SunDevilRocketry’s Flight-Computer-Firmware and mod repositories, delivering embedded systems features and reliability improvements across flight control, GPS parsing, and servo control. Applied C and Python to refactor core modules, unify servo interfaces, and implement persistent configuration storage in flash memory. Enhanced CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions and Makefile-driven builds, expanded automated testing, and overhauled test infrastructure for maintainability. Addressed critical bugs in apogee detection and error handling, modernized code hygiene, and improved submodule orchestration for smoother releases. These efforts reduced deployment risk, improved build reliability, and accelerated iteration cycles for firmware and hardware integration in aerospace applications.
June 2026 performance highlights for SunDevilRocketry/Flight-Computer-Firmware. Delivered architectural submodule orchestration and environment-ready build improvements, enabling reliable testing, faster iteration, and smoother releases. Key outcomes include a comprehensive submodule integration (pulling up submodules and emulator, integrating SDEC submodule, and a complete rewrite of the test submodule to raise quality), targeted CI/QA enhancements, and a focused codebase refactor to improve reuse and maintainability. Build reliability was strengthened through SDEC environment fixes, an emulator build fix, and a non-Cygwin terminal Makefile path resolution hotfix. Stability and quality improvements were achieved by addressing coast state errors, code formatting cleanups, and proactive submodule pointer/config alignment for merge readiness. These efforts collectively reduced build failures, improved test coverage, and accelerated release readiness.

May 2026 monthly summary for SunDevilRocketry across Flight-Computer-Firmware and mod repositories. Key deliverables include a comprehensive test infrastructure overhaul (FCF test framework, relocated driver tests, removal of obsolete test submodule), CI/CodeQL and checkout tooling fixes ensuring submodule integrity and accurate code scanning, updates to documentation templates, auto-assignment of Nich to triage, a new validation routine for revision 3 flash data, guard pattern modernization, expanded test coverage for assert macros, and CI module refactor to reduce duplication. In the mod repository, a critical fix widened the error callback table iterator from uint8_t to uint16_t to prevent overflow during error handling. These changes reduce risk, improve quality and security, speed up triage and testing, and demonstrate strong proficiency in embedded firmware, CI/CD, test automation, and code quality tooling.

July 2025 performance summary for SunDevilRocketry/mod: Delivered a major refactor of the servo control system by unifying multiple servo drive calls into a single generalized motor_drive function that accepts a ServoID enum. This reduces code duplication, improves maintainability, and enables easier future enhancements. Addressed review findings to stabilize the servo driver path and prepared groundwork for broader servo control changes. Key commits contributing to this work: 4f0862562b6b7531a8880213b2afeea8dfd6d73a (Review Fixes) and 228d0bd1007b7128d94e0b223886590add77aa9f (Changes in progress). Overall impact: lower maintenance cost, faster iteration cycles for future actuator support, and improved reliability of motion control in the SunDevilRocketry mod repository. Technologies/skills demonstrated: API design (ServoID enum), refactoring for maintainability, code-review driven QA, embedded systems development practices, and clean commit hygiene.
