PROFILE

Jeff Katz

Worked on improving the reliability and performance of Linux-based sensor calibration in the PX4/PX4-Autopilot repository, focusing on resolving CPU starvation issues during high-rate sensor data processing. Addressed a critical bug by optimizing thread management in C++ and embedded real-time systems, introducing throttling and sleep yields within calibration loops to reduce CPU contention. Validated the solution across Linux x64 and aarch64 targets under both real-time and non-real-time scheduling, ensuring calibration completes smoothly without deadlocks or excessive CPU usage. This work enhanced pre-flight calibration reliability and reduced field failures, demonstrating expertise in concurrency optimization and cross-platform embedded development.
