Developed and enhanced automated ignition control systems for the masa-umich/mcnugget repository, focusing on safety, reliability, and maintainability. Delivered Python-based scripts that standardized ignition sequences, introduced parameterized valve configurations, and implemented robust pressurizing and purging workflows. Integrated user-initiated start, manual abort, and error handling to reduce manual intervention and improve operational safety. Enhanced experimental repeatability by adding retry logic and clear component constants, supporting faster iteration and easier onboarding. Addressed reliability by implementing graceful shutdown procedures and correcting module imports, reducing runtime errors and downtime. Demonstrated strong skills in automation, embedded systems, and scripting throughout the development process.
December 2024: Stabilized autosequence workflow in masa-umich/mcnugget by delivering focused reliability and cleanup improvements. Implemented graceful shutdown for autosequence termination and corrected module loading for the syauto module, reducing runtime errors and manual intervention. These changes enhanced safety, uptime, and maintainability for automated sequences, laying groundwork for smoother future releases and scalable automation.
