Worked on internal housekeeping for the umrover/mrover-electrical repository, focusing on improving maintainability and onboarding efficiency. The primary effort involved reorganizing the project structure and renaming files and directories to establish clearer naming conventions, with no changes to functional code. This work enhanced repository hygiene, making it easier for new contributors to navigate the codebase and for teams to collaborate more reliably. Leveraged skills in Git version control and repository management, with attention to Python-based project organization. The changes laid a foundation for faster feature delivery and more consistent CI/CD workflows, supporting future development and streamlined onboarding processes.
