PROFILE
Kapil Gupta
Worked on the espressif/esp32-wifi-lib repository, delivering targeted improvements to Wi-Fi stability, security, and compatibility across ESP32 variants. Addressed cross-library header synchronization and binary alignment to reduce build and runtime errors, and implemented Device Provisioning Protocol (DPP) header updates for consistent onboarding flows. Enhanced Wi-Fi Authentication and Key Management (AKM) handling for non-RSNE access points, and introduced WPA3 support while removing deprecated APIs to modernize the codebase. Fixed issues with SAE credential initialization and improved network reliability by dropping broadcast fragmented frames. Demonstrated expertise in C, embedded systems, and network programming, focusing on robust, maintainable firmware development.

Sep 1, 2025September 2025 monthly summary for espressif/esp32-wifi-lib: Focused on modernization, security, and reliability across ESP32 variants. Key features delivered include WPA3-compatible mode for AP and STA, and cleanup of deprecated APIs, enums, and variables in the esp_wifi library. A major bug fix addressed SAE initialization by setting the default NVS value to NULL. These changes reduce technical debt, enhance security posture, and improve compatibility with modern networks. Demonstrated skills: C/C++ code maintenance, API modernization, secure networking (WPA3/SAE), cross-variant compatibility, and robust NVS handling.
