PROFILE

Saksham Bhutani

Worked on the cmu-argus-2/FSW-mainboard repository, delivering six features over two months focused on secure satellite command handling and digipeater interoperability. Implemented cryptographic authentication for command packets, enhancing integrity and authenticity, and restored ground testing mode to support controlled QA operations. Improved code quality through comprehensive linting and PEP8 compliance, while introducing security reminders to prevent hard-coded secrets. Added APRS format support to the digipeater, expanding compatibility, and refactored state management for reliability. Utilized Python and YAML for backend development, configuration management, and embedded systems, emphasizing maintainability, security best practices, and robust testing throughout the software lifecycle.

April 2026, cmu-argus-2/FSW-mainboard: Delivered APRS format support for the Digipeater, enabling compatibility with APRS-based workflows and expanding interoperability. Implemented Digipeater state management improvements by refactoring the RF_STOP flag into a dedicated StateFlags class and introducing an explicit deactivation signal in DigipeaterState, enhancing reliability and maintainability. Performed a minor maintenance fix to the digipeater ACK comment for protocol alignment. These changes improve field reliability, reduce operator friction, and lay groundwork for future feature work.
