PROFILE
Florian Donauer
Florian Donauer developed and maintained embedded firmware for the SpaceTeam/STS1_COBC_SW repository, focusing on robust file systems, RF protocol handling, and system reliability. Over twelve months, he delivered features such as CRC-32-based data integrity, modernized LittleFS integration, and a unified watchdog and antenna deployment workflow. Using C++ and CMake, Florian implemented resilient error handling, command-line tooling, and telemetry extensions, while refactoring legacy components for maintainability. His work addressed data corruption risks, improved firmware update safety, and streamlined EDU program management. The technical depth is evident in his approach to protocol design, memory management, and real-time operating system integration.
