A more robust USB-to-serial interface

C++ maintenance and testing work on an FTDI USB-to-serial interface used within a medical-software environment.

Challenge

The interface required reliable device detection and dependable read/write behavior. Existing defects and limited test coverage made maintenance and verification harder.

Contribution

I fixed defects, refactored the C++ implementation, extended unit-test coverage, and strengthened the behavior around device detection and data transfer.

Outcome

The work improved robustness and made future changes safer to verify. This was proprietary commercial work; source code is not public.
