PROFILE
Maggiejenkins
Maggie Jenkins developed and finalized the Brake Sensor Power Distribution (BSPD) hardware for the formulaslug/fs-3-schematics repository, delivering a complete design flow from schematic capture to production-ready PCB fabrication files. She used KiCad for schematic and PCB layout, Python scripting for voltage divider calculations, and Gerber file generation to ensure manufacturing readiness. Her work included refactoring net names for clarity, enhancing design verification, and updating components for calibration and reliability. By organizing project assets and maintaining rigorous version control, Maggie enabled rapid prototyping, reduced debugging time, and streamlined the handoff to manufacturing, demonstrating depth in electronics engineering and hardware design.

Mar 1, 2025Month 2025-03: Delivered BSPD PCB fabrication files for the formulaslug/fs-3-schematics repo, enabling immediate fabrication readiness. Implemented Gerber generation for copper, soldermask, paste, silkscreen, and edge cuts. All BSPD changes captured in a single commit (5d94d6173d9ced643e84496e346abfec320d8b94), ensuring traceability and reproducibility. No major bugs reported this month; QA validated the fabrication data and package prepared for fabrication house and assembly. Impact: reduces time-to-fab, improves data completeness and supplier handoff; Skills demonstrated: PCB fabrication data standards, Gerber workflow, version control, cross-team collaboration.

Nov 1, 2024Month: 2024-11. Summary: Delivered a significant BSPD (Battery Shutdown Protection) improvement for the formulaslug/fs-3-schematics project, focusing on schematic clarity, reliability, and verifiability. Key outcomes include a complete schematic overhaul with descriptive net names and new schematic files for logic, shutdown control, and status indicators, plus a Python-based voltage divider calculator enhancement that reports actual voltage output and percentage error. No critical defects were reported during this period; all changes were verified as part of a focused refactor and MVP delivery. This work establishes a stronger foundation for QA, future feature work, and field reliability. Overall impact and accomplishments: Improved design readability, maintainability, and verification rigor for BSPD circuitry. Accelerates troubleshooting and reduces post-deployment debugging through clearer nets, richer schematic artifacts, and transparent voltage calculations. Completed MVP milestone (V1) with clear traceability to commit 98672a01c3d197df0c55fddce351603cffd3bf50. Technologies/skills demonstrated: Schematic design and documentation discipline, Python scripting for measurement calculations, version control and commit hygiene, refactoring for clarity, and end-to-end verification readiness.
