PROFILE

Stefan Schwendeler

Worked across Zephyr and AmbiqZephyr repositories to deliver features and stability improvements in embedded systems using C and YAML. Developed high-precision ADC voltage sensing, introducing 64-bit microvolt computations and rigorous unit tests to enhance sensor accuracy. Improved I2S and SPI driver reliability by refactoring device tree bindings, optimizing runtime performance, and addressing concurrency issues in multithreaded environments. Enhanced LwM2m resource management testing in AmbiqZephyr by adding macros and buffer validation, strengthening regression detection. Focused on maintainable, business-aligned solutions, the work emphasized device driver development, sensor integration, and robust testing practices to support reliable, high-performance hardware-software integration.

Jan 1, 2026

January 2026 monthly summary: Focused on improving ADC-based voltage sensing accuracy in the Zephyr project. Implemented a high-precision voltage scaling path, added a new 64-bit microvolt-capable function, and validated it with targeted tests. These changes enhance sensor accuracy, reliability, and control decisions for voltage-sensitive applications while preserving compatibility with existing APIs.

July 2025: SPI driver stability hardening in Zephyr. Implemented an owner-only release check in spi_release to fix a race condition, improving the reliability of the spi_nrfx_spim driver in multithreaded usage. The change reduces unintended chip-select engagement and race-related defects, contributing to deterministic SPI behavior across concurrent tasks.
