Summary

Leveraging several years of professional experience as a System and Software Manager, Team Lead, Expert Consultant, Fullstack Developer, and Lead Engineer, I have contributed to a broad range of multinational projects in the mechatronics and robotic embedded systems sectors.

My core expertise includes software process improvement and assessment aligned with ASPICE and CMMI models, as well as Agile methodologies including SAFe (Scaled Agile Framework). I have actively led and participated in activities spanning back-end and front-end development, Quality Assurance (QA) with Quality Management (QM). Additionally, my experience encompasses hardware-related domains such as PCB design, electronic schematics, IT/IoT infrastructure, server/client network management, to design cloud architecture, and observe cybersecurity.

With a diverse technical background in IT, AI/Generative AI, software engineering with python and data science, I bring a comprehensive skill set that includes test automation, cloud technologies and software and system requirements of automotive/aerospace applications. I am proficient in developing and implementing test automation solutions across system, software, and hardware layers (Interface's) using C/C++/C#, CAPL, Python, and Java—with a particular emphasis on AI integration.

My automotive experience is extensive, covering E/E architecture support, powertrain concepts, ECU development, telematics/infotainment, and cutting-edge technologies such as ADAS, E-mobility, and CI/CD pipeline integration od complete application. I am well-versed in industry standards including ISO 26262 (Functional Safety), FMEA/ASIL assessments, AUTOSAR (C/A), and OBD II protocols. Furthermore, I possess deep knowledge of Car IT cybersecurity concepts interfacing , electronic PCB design for cloud based platforms such as AWS, complemented by expertise in AI/GenAI e.g. LLM's and ML/DL frameworks.

I am experienced in optimizing architectures across SDLC and STLC, developing sensor-based and smart device applications, and working with Field-Bus systems e.g. CAN,LIN,Ethernet, EtherCat,Flexray, MOST etc. My day-to-day work reflects a solid grasp of complex technical domains paired with robust Business Intelligence (BI) capabilities. I follow 'Best Practice' methodologies including Agile, Scrum, Kanban, and ITIL, and utilize project management tools such as Siemens TeamCenter,Confluence, JIRA, and XRay.

My professional scope also encompasses comprehensive system/software/hardware verification and validation analysis, in alignment with ISTQB standards and OEM-driven LMS learning models such as Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Volkswagen and Ford etc.
