PROFILE
Ibrahima
Ibrahima Sow developed core flight software for the cmu-argus-2/FSW-mainboard repository, focusing on embedded systems, state machine design, and data handling. Over seven months, he refactored major subsystems, modernized command processing, and optimized memory usage using Python and Shell scripting. His work included implementing robust queue management, enhancing telemetry and image processing, and automating code review workflows with CODEOWNERS. By introducing architectural improvements and rigorous testing, Ibrahima increased system reliability, reduced technical debt, and streamlined CI/CD pipelines. His contributions addressed both performance and maintainability, resulting in a more resilient, observable, and developer-friendly codebase for satellite operations.

Mar 1, 2025March 2025 (2025-03) - cmu-argus-2/FSW-mainboard: Delivered robustness enhancements centered on API safety and architectural alignment. Implemented strict enforcement of the CubeSat base class inheritance by raising a TypeError on direct instantiation, and updated the simulation submodule reference to align with the evolving architecture. These changes reduce potential runtime errors, improve developer guidance, and create a stable foundation for upcoming features and simulations.

Dec 1, 2024December 2024: Delivered robust MCM core enhancements and testing, improved testing stability for the FSW-mainboard, and performance-oriented logging and documentation updates. The work focused on increasing reliability, enabling faster development cycles, and clearer runtime diagnostics in cmu-argus-2/FSW-mainboard, directly supporting more accurate MCM measurements and smoother build/deploy workflows. Key outcomes: MCM core improvements with tests; testing infrastructure and emulator improvements; logging framework enhancements for performance; and documentation/build/simulation enhancements. These changes collectively reduce flaky tests, improve readibility and correctness, lower runtime overhead, and streamline simulation and build setup for future work. Technologies/skills demonstrated: Python refactoring (class methods, readings conversion), test stabilization (linting, imports, accelerated time emulation), performance-oriented logging (NOTHING mode, logger tuning), and documentation/architecture updates to support CI and deployment.
