During their work on the Mu2e/otsdaq-mu2e repository, Mackenzie developed and enhanced CFO loopback testing capabilities, introducing software-controlled loops, ROOT-based output, and multi-run support to enable comprehensive performance diagnostics. They improved test result traceability by implementing per-ROC result structures and environment-based output paths, while also performing code cleanups using clang-format to align with project standards. In a separate update, Mackenzie stabilized CFO interface initialization by changing the sample clock edge default, reducing startup drift and improving data-taking readiness. Their work demonstrated depth in C++, embedded systems, and hardware interface configuration, with a focus on maintainability and reproducibility.

September 2025 monthly summary for Mu2e/otsdaq-mu2e. Delivered the CFO Sample Clock Edge Default Update as a key feature to stabilize CFO interface initialization and clock synchronization. Updated default from 2 (auto-find) to 0 (rising-edge) in DTCFrontEndInterfaceImpl.cc. Implemented via commit e92b9c029919a8a6b48a2efec7beda0237bbad16 ('Change CFO interface setup default'). Impact: Improved startup reliability of CFO timing, reduced initialization drift, and smoother data-taking readiness. Skills demonstrated: C++ code changes, interface configuration, clock-domain awareness, Git-based version control and change management.
