Technical Project Manager at ANNAX integrating passenger information systems with ETCS, TCMS, and other rail systems.

Message

At ANNAX (a Wabtec Company), I manage the technical scope of passenger information system projects, from requirements analysis through commissioning. I’ve reduced integration interface defects by 80% by aligning PIS interfaces with TCMS, TMS, ETCS, CCTV, and train radio.

Previously, at Continental Automotive GmbH, I technically led an international team delivering software releases and improved requirements quality through work in DOORS. My earlier work includes integrating an ETCS solution at Bombardier Transportation and developing embedded software for automotive and avionics systems.
