Worked on the waterloo-rocketry/cansw_processor_canards repository, focusing on optimizing the UART read API to better align with hardware constraints in embedded systems. The main feature involved changing the uart_read length parameter from uint16_t to uint8_t, which reduced data packet size and improved resource efficiency without impacting core functionality. This adjustment ensured UART reads matched hardware capabilities, minimizing memory usage and potential bus load. The work demonstrated proficiency in C and embedded driver development, with careful attention to hardware-aware parameter tuning and clear documentation through commit messages, supporting maintainability and traceability for future development within the project.
