March 2025 performance highlights: Delivered critical feature work and system integration across VCF, VCR, and CCU repositories to enhance safety, reliability, and future velocity. Key features delivered include: Pedals System (VCF) with dual-sensor redundancy, deadzone handling, and FSAE-compliant checks; VCF System Task Scheduling and Modularity Enhancements; VCR System Integration with enhanced CAN communication, inverter control, and state-machine refinements; CCU Codebase Workflow Configuration Reorganization to .github/workflows for CI/CD hygiene. No discrete major bugs fixed in this period; instead, the work focused on reducing defect risk through architecture and interface improvements. Technologies demonstrated include embedded C/C++, CAN, Ethernet, ADC, system time-aware tasking, deadzone and fault-detection logic, and CI/CD workflow automation.
