What was the state 1 year ago?



# What major projects have I been doing?
## 1. Indi Controller

## 2. Table Delivery
## 3. Navigation Stack
- onesec3d file format
- fruxel grid implementation
- planner server
- controller server
- behavior server

## 4. Electronics Design and Review
- propulsion harness
- wiring harness
- pdb iteration
- cm4-carrierboard iteration
- parachute system
- cameras and large order

## 5. PX4 and ROS2 related work
- GNSS including RTK
- Setup VPN
- setup time synchronization between both cm4s
- TF2 system, which handles all coordinate transforms in ROS2
- build system --> exact ros2 version on every install.
- debugging vulkan installs and why cpu usage was high. Also segmentation faults debugging
- ros2 logging node
- ark flow integration
- setup proper gazebo simulation (must be further improved)
## 5. ESC
- 10S esc
- VESC analysis

## 7. Mechanical Work
- CNC
- A lot of drone repairs
- A lot of propulsion system builds
- wrong dampers --> unstable propulsion system

## 8. Testing
- I did a lot of flight tests in january / february
- dead flight controllers
- do testbench tests for floris


## Questions to myself

- How do you see the past year? What are the main achievements? and what are the main improvements?
- yourself with respect to the company?
- What do you think were your strengths and weaknesses over the past year?
	- Was not very efficient 
	- a lot of multitasking
	- did a good job managing vidit, I'm also enjoying it
	- did not a good job of documenting process and following a strict set of rules to properly write down learned knowledge
- What do you like about the job? Anything you disliked?
	- I like working the project itself, because it is a complex product that has the capability to change the world. 
	- I like the multidisciplinar challenge
	- I dislike working with Floris
	- I dislike the way we work as a team
	- I dislike the size of the team
	- I disklike the way the company is organized and handles the workflows.
- What do you think should be improved?
	- clear communication from the company to where we're headed.
	- a clear plan that doesn't change every 4 weeks
- What would you like to see from the company's side?
	- Opening up to investors for faster growth, not repeating mistakes

Before we start is there anything you wanted to share with me?
No. 
## Questions
- How do you see the past year? What are the main achievements? and what are the main improvements?
	- major decisions. finalized parachutes, leds, carrier, pdb --> positive! 
	- elec. architecture --> good.
	- not great: a lot of changes, some work got cancelled --> 10s but for nothing
- yourself and your work with respect to company
	- able to handle the changes that are happening.
	- new things like bms, leds, etc (quick learner)
	- Improvements
		- spelling
		- documentation
		- get more efficient and more things that need to get done (not always in his hands)
		- multiple projects at the same time makes hard

- What do you think were your strengths and weaknesses over the past year?
- What do you like about the job? Anything you disliked?
	- product (we are making something futuristic --> awesome!)
	- exciting to see issues that come up in the field (launch) --> things that we did not think about during design.
	- avionics.
	- Floris, Claudio (TEAM) --> smart, interesting team. no company politics, not toxic, people are listening, open minded
	- Job profile:
		- you want to contribute in software. (production development, interested in adding software)
			- functional programming for embedded (low power micro controllers) (RAM, ROM) in C ()
		- 3D-Design (a lot of experience --> mold making to avoid scenes) BMF (plastic molding)
- What do you think should be improved?
- What would you like to see from my side / the company's side?
	- engaging him im more different things (software) --> for his career
	- he'd like to have realigning everyone and letting know about where we're going and 
	- he's hazy about how far we have gone --> missing vision. Whats our roadmap
- Feedback Claudio
	- pcb works first time because I make good review. catch mistakes
	- communicating what needs to be done.
	- teaching critical thinking. 
	- parallel documentation? eliminate. vidit can choose

### What about me?
- Anything you want to share with me about me or the company? positive feedback? critics?

## Feedback
### Good Points
- you do a good job with documenting on confluence
- Most of the pcbs work the first time we order them, congratulations!
### Possible Improvements
- Often when I did reviews, the files are quite messy (old comments not updated, wrong labels, wrong arrow directions)
- if you do experiments make sure to properly write down everything that is needed to reproduce the experiment without any prior knowledge

## Questions by Vidit
What is the plan? The roadmap to the first delivery?
- will we keep it remote?
- will there be work for him after the hardware is done?
