During April 2025, contributed to the qmk/qmk_firmware repository by developing and integrating a new keyboard layout, LAYOUT_1x2u, for the kradoindustries_promenade hardware. This work involved defining the keymap and updating firmware configuration files to support a compact 1x2u footprint, thereby improving end-user customization and streamlining future layout additions. The approach emphasized maintainability and clear version control practices, ensuring that new layouts can be onboarded efficiently. Leveraging expertise in embedded systems, keyboard firmware development, and the C programming language, the developer focused on enhancing configurability without introducing new bugs, demonstrating careful attention to code quality and repository standards.
