At Ford Motor Company, I investigate vehicle software cases involving connected vehicle functionality, ECU communication, OTA deployments, and software integration. I analyze vehicle logs, network behavior, and backend configuration data to isolate defects and validate software readiness.

At Stellantis N.V., I supported automotive manufacturing operations through ECU configuration, module flashing, software validation, and End-of-Line testing. I also investigated communication failures and manufacturing software defects.

At FlowState, I lead product strategy and development for a behavioral analytics SaaS platform. I designed its behavioral intelligence engine and manage a private beta with 27 users, whose feedback informs product improvements.
