Contributed to the Terrapin-Rocket-Team/Airbrake repository by developing core features and simulation tools for airbrake control in aerospace applications. Built a C++ body-frame vector conversion to improve aerodynamic drag estimation and implemented robust motor stall detection, enhancing system safety and reliability. Designed a Python-based rocket trajectory propagation simulation engine, enabling time-stepped updates of flight parameters and supporting integration with embedded systems. Addressed repository hygiene by identifying and planning remediation for accidental bytecode artifacts, ensuring clean CI and release processes. Work demonstrated depth in control systems, simulation development, and data handling, with a focus on maintainability and integration readiness across C++ and Python.

Mar 1, 2025Month 2025-03: Delivered a Python-based Rocket Trajectory Propagation Simulation Engine for Airbrake, enabling time-stepped updates of mass, acceleration, velocity, position, and orientation while accounting for motor thrust, air density, and flap angle. Implemented initial Airbrake state header initialization to configure flight parameters and noted a TODO for CdA area calculation. The month also included groundwork for follow-up refactors to improve structure, data handling, sensor configurations, serial communication loop, and data formatting for integration with the flight system. While no explicit bug fixes are recorded in the provided data, the changes establish a solid foundation for end-to-end simulation and integration testing.

Feb 1, 2025February 2025 Monthly Summary for Terrapin-Rocket-Team/Airbrake: Delivered two major features to advance performance and safety of the airbrake system. Key work focused on improving CdA estimation accuracy and strengthening motor control safety. Highlights include a body-frame vector conversion for CdA estimation and a robust motor stall detection with safe control initialization, supported by a refactor to centralize stall logic via MotorStopCondition. These contributions deliver tangible business value through more accurate aerodynamic modeling and safer, more reliable braking operations.
