I lead automotive software delivery, Scrum teams, HIL testing, and release planning.

At Volvo Car AB, I lead a team of five HIL engineers supporting test rigs and vehicles for Vehicle TopHat. I align feature delivery, milestones, capacity, release scope, and stakeholder priorities.

I previously improved delivery speed and planning efficiency for Computing Infrastructure System Test Framework Development by streamlining task delegation and implementing visual boards. I also facilitated technical-debt workshops, stakeholder collaboration, and team health initiatives.

Across Volvo Car AB and Volvo Group, I've built pytest-based test frameworks, Python automation frameworks, Android functional-test repositories, and Elastic Kibana dashboards. I've also supported release testing, regression testing, quality analysis, and QA insight.

My background includes embedded software and automated testing for vehicle connectivity, including C, Robot Framework, System Weaver, and Rational Rhapsody. I'm a certified Professional Scrum Product Owner and have over 7.5 years of automotive software development and testing experience.
