Worked on the masa-umich/mcnugget repository to deliver a series of automation and control system enhancements focused on ignition sequencing and autosequence workflows. Over three months, developed and refined Python-based automation scripts to improve reliability, safety, and observability in hardware-software integration. The technical approach included implementing retry logic, timing adjustments, and robust monitoring with sliding window averages, as well as introducing abort handling and full automation of torch ignition. Emphasized maintainability by standardizing naming conventions and updating simulation components. The work enabled safer, more reliable deployments and streamlined troubleshooting, leveraging skills in embedded systems, automation scripting, and software engineering.
February 2025: Delivered the Torch ignition automation refactor for masa-umich/mcnugget. Consolidated and cleaned the autosequence ignition workflow by removing interactive prompts to enable full automation. Introduced a dedicated torch_ignite function, added abort handling for safing during interruptions, simplified monitor logic, updated the ethanol tank simulation, and standardized naming for valves and sensors to improve consistency and maintainability. The changes position the project for safer, more reliable deployments and faster iteration cycles.
