What I'm looking for

I seek senior program or project roles in automotive/embedded product development with strong governance, cross-functional teams, and opportunities to drive predictable, ASPICE-aligned delivery.

I am a Program/Project Manager with 14+ years of experience leading automotive, embedded and EV programs across global OEM environments. I specialize in cross-functional leadership, supplier management, and ASPICE-aligned delivery.

I have led 40+ onsite–offshore engineers and delivered multiple embedded software programs, improving milestone predictability by 30% and reducing escalations by 25% through governance and KPI-driven dashboards.

My work includes SDV interior lighting PoC, 72V/30Ah EV battery concept-to-production handover, and AIS-125 compliant ambulance variants that contributed significant business impact. I combine Agile/SAFe execution with APQP/PPAP/FMEA and SDLC practices to ensure quality and timely releases.

I am outcome-focused, committed to engineering excellence, cost optimization, and predictable delivery across product lifecycle stages, from NPI and validation to launch and customer governance.
