PROFILE
Kimberley Hoang
Kimberley Hoang developed and enhanced health monitoring infrastructure for the waterloo-rocketry/cansw_processor_canards firmware, focusing on reliability and observability in embedded systems. Over three months, she implemented a centralized health check framework with watchdog integration, ADC-based current monitoring, and CAN bus status reporting, enabling robust fault detection and system status communication. Her work involved refactoring macros to static inline functions, standardizing code conventions, and improving header organization for maintainability. Using C and C++ with RTOS and hardware monitoring expertise, Kimberley’s contributions reduced operational risk, streamlined future instrumentation, and positioned the firmware for integration with RocketLib-powered health monitoring capabilities.

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.
