Yiru Liu contributed to the BrownSpaceEngineering/PVDXosV2 repository by developing and refining embedded systems features focused on robust task management and radio communication. Over four months, Yiru modernized inter-task communication using watchdog command queues, improved system stability through mutex synchronization, and enhanced debugging with structured logging in C and Makefile environments. Their work included enabling development-specific features, refactoring task and command handling for safety, and addressing concurrency issues to prevent deadlocks. By prioritizing maintainability and reliability, Yiru delivered a cleaner, more resilient codebase that supports faster iteration and future feature expansion, demonstrating depth in RTOS, embedded C, and system programming.
