Worked on the CUSail-Navigation/sailbot repository to deliver a robust real-time dashboard and map visualization system for autonomous sailboat navigation. Over five months, developed features such as live wind, sail, and rudder angle displays, dynamic waypoint trails, and high-precision map coordinate tracking, all integrated with ROS for seamless data flow. Leveraged JavaScript, HTML, and D3.js to create responsive, modular front-end components, while implementing Google Maps API for enhanced situational awareness. Addressed UI stability and security by fixing rendering issues and removing sensitive API keys from version control, resulting in a maintainable, extensible interface that supports safe, informed operator decision-making.

3 Commits • 1 Features
Mar 1, 2025Month: 2025-03. Key features delivered: Live Map Coordinates Display with High-Precision Lat/Long (3 decimals) on the Sailbot map; real-time cursor latitude/longitude updates as the cursor moves over the map. Major bugs fixed: Security improvement by removing the hardcoded Google Maps API key from index.html, replacing with a generic placeholder 'key' to prevent credential exposure in version control while preserving map functionality. Overall impact: Enhanced navigational situational awareness for operators with precise, real-time geospatial context and reduced security risk, achieved with no regressions to map features. Technologies/skills demonstrated: Front-end UI development, real-time UI updates, numeric precision handling, and secure coding practices (removing secrets from VCS) with clear commit hygiene.

Nov 1, 2024November 2024 performance in CUSail-Navigation/sailbot focused on delivering real-time navigation and sensor visualization features, improving UI structure, and establishing reliable mode control. Key work included real-time wind angle display and live GPS coordinates on the web UI, a UI overhaul with a dedicated waypoint input, and the introduction of an Algorithm/Radio Control mode chooser that publishes to /control_mode. Groundwork for orientation visualization was completed with IMU quaternion display and heading conversion. A critical bug fix corrected the control mode topic initialization to ensure reliable subscriptions. This work enhances operator situational awareness, safety in navigation planning, and creates a scalable UI framework for future enhancements. Technologies demonstrated include ROS topic subscriptions, HTML/CSS/JS modularization, real-time dashboards, and data visualization, with a strong emphasis on maintainability and clear code organization.
