Over five months, Ultra Public engineered core robotics features for the Rumarino-Team/hydrus-software-stack, focusing on simulation, control, and mission planning. They migrated the simulation environment to Gazebo Fortress, modernizing dependencies and Docker-based workflows. Ultra centralized motor control by moving thruster logic from Python to Arduino firmware, improving reliability and hardware integration. Their overhaul of the mission planner introduced a unified scheduler and cross-language bindings in Rust, C, and Python, streamlining integration and reducing maintenance. They also enhanced controller telemetry and testing infrastructure, emphasizing robust validation and safer deployments. The work demonstrated depth in systems programming, embedded development, and DevOps practices.

August 2025 summary: Delivered a major overhaul of the Mission Planner, consolidating the mission planning module into a single, robust component with a new scheduler, a trait-based API, and cross-language bindings (C and Python). This work, plus targeted refactoring and bug fixes, reduces maintenance overhead and enables broader system integration.
