During February 2026, contributed to the uw-midsun/fwxvi repository by developing a memory-management backbone and enhancing device telemetry for embedded systems. Built an arena allocator library in C, supporting initialization, allocation, and reset, with a smoke test to validate allocator behavior and Doxygen documentation for maintainability. Integrated the BMI323 IMU driver to enable real-time data acquisition and telemetry transmission over UART via an RTOS task, improving device observability. Emphasized code quality through automated formatting, linting with GitHub Actions, and refactoring for status-based error handling. Enabled flexible RTOS task creation using both dynamic and static memory allocation to support hardware constraints.
