PROFILE
Kimberley Hoang
Over a three-month period, contributed to the waterloo-rocketry/cansw_processor_canards firmware by developing a comprehensive health monitoring infrastructure for embedded systems. Built and integrated a health checks framework with watchdog management, enabling real-time monitoring of system status, current draw, and CAN bus reporting for flight-critical subsystems. Applied C and C++ to implement centralized watchdog task registration, ADC-based current monitoring, and robust error logging, while refactoring code for maintainability and standards compliance. Enhanced observability and reliability by standardizing health check APIs, improving code hygiene, and preparing the module for future RocketLib integration, ultimately reducing operational risk and supporting safer deployments.

Jan 1, 2025January 2025: Delivered core health-check enhancements and foundational RocketLib readiness for cansw_processor_canards. Implemented centralized watchdog task registration to unify health check registration, prepared RocketLib integration by including the rocketlib common header, added a new current-draw health check task to monitor ADC-based current with logging and CAN-ready fault signaling, and tightened health checks code quality with header/include cleanup. These changes improve reliability, observability, and maintainability, reduce risk of misconfigured health checks, and position the module for future RocketLib-powered health monitoring.
