Getting satellite data ready for downlink.

I separated C++ telemetry into dedicated transmit and receive components, and packed onboard data into structured payloads.

Fixing a race condition at startup.

I traced an initialization race and enforced strict ordering and state validation to make startup reliable.

Startup reliability after the initialization fix
Result50% → 100% startup reliability.

Making critical migrations safer.

I designed mock interfaces that isolated 12+ service dependencies, letting teams test in parallel without disrupting live systems.

Bringing low-level hardware into Python.

I built a CFFI wrapper around C++ hardware drivers so applications could use low-level device operations through Python.
