The challenge
Make changing communication interfaces easier to accommodate across C, Python, and C++ components.
Context and scope
Professional communication-framework development supporting adaptable interfaces between engineering software components.
My responsibilities
- Developed a reusable UDP communication framework in C and Python.
- Integrated the communication functionality with C++ software.
- Supported configurable data structures and flexible layouts for evolving interfaces.
Engineering approach
- Used configurable structures and layouts to accommodate interface changes within a reusable framework.
- Connected C and Python communication components to their C++ integration context.
- Treated the language and network boundaries as explicit parts of the engineering problem.
Outcomes
- Reduced friction when modifying communication interfaces through configurable data structures and flexible layouts.
- Provided reusable UDP communication across C and Python components with C++ integration.
What this work illustrates
A communication interface is easier to integrate when its configuration and language boundaries are visible rather than hidden inside the surrounding application.
