What I'm looking for

I seek a senior technical leadership role in automotive electrical architecture or autonomy, where I can drive product strategy, mentor teams, and deliver scalable vehicle systems.

I am a product-oriented, results-driven technical leader with over 15 years of experience in the automotive industry, focused on mobility and autonomous driving. I have led electrical architecture and systems teams to define and execute vehicle electrical and software architecture from program creation through post-launch, integrating V2V, OTA, AI/ML, MaaS and L2+/L3/AV capabilities.

I drive verification, validation and system-level requirements using modern tools and methods, and have developed virtual co-simulation, cloud-based verification, and Always On vehicle strategies. I mentor teams in BDD and SAFe Agile, have led cross-regional software delivery, and hold advanced training in architecture and systems engineering.
