Worked on the ArduPilot/ardupilot repository, focusing on telemetry and protocol enhancements for aerospace applications. Developed and integrated DroneCAN RC Link telemetry improvements, adding detailed statistics such as link quality, RSSI, SNR, and TX power, and refactored the OSD to use more accurate link status reporting. Addressed critical bugs in telemetry, including correcting a ground speed calculation error in the CRSF protocol and clarifying parameter naming in RC protocol handling to prevent misconfiguration. Emphasized code quality, traceable commits, and backward compatibility throughout. Utilized C++ and embedded systems expertise, with a strong focus on telemetry systems and protocol development.

Jan 1, 2026January 2026: Focused on code quality and stability for ArduPilot/ardupilot. No new features released this month; the principal accomplishment was a targeted RC protocol bug fix that clarifies a key parameter name and prevents confusion with the backend RSSI variable. The change is backward-compatible for systems that do not set these bits. The update is captured in commit 3cd6ca6e9e142273e232740de7007d53dd575431.
