Worked on the BrownSpaceEngineering/PVDXosV2 repository, delivering core embedded systems features over three months. Developed pointer-based task management, refactored command dispatching, and introduced thread-local storage in FreeRTOS to improve task reliability and data safety. Integrated LAPACK-based linear algebra for on-device analytics, reorganized sensor drivers for maintainability, and enhanced ADC and magnetometer support. Automated task file creation and expanded testing frameworks to streamline onboarding and validation. Used C, C++, and Bash to implement low-level drivers, build tooling, and system programming. Prioritized code hygiene, deprecated legacy features, and resolved integration bugs, resulting in a more robust, maintainable embedded platform.

Feb 1, 2026February 2026 monthly summary for BrownSpaceEngineering/PVDXosV2: Focused on delivering core platform capabilities with a clear path to production-ready analytics and sensor data processing. Key work includes embedding LAPACK-based linear algebra (project/config setup, precision-aware operations), reorganization of sensor drivers into src/drivers with new magnetometer and photodiode read paths, and the deprecation of the Linear Algebra Task to align with strategic priorities. These efforts improve on-device computation reliability, enable richer sensor analytics, and reduce technical debt, setting the stage for accelerated feature delivery and safer mainline integration.
