Technical Program Lead at Magna International, advancing next-generation radar with a PC perception stack and customer demonstrations.

Message

At Magna International, I lead Radar Product 2.0, advancing a second-generation radar program with a 70-person engineering team. I introduced a Launcher-on-Package architecture and a PC perception stack that turns emerging radar capabilities into customer-facing demonstrations.

For Radar Product 1.0, I took full ownership of a 100-person engineering team and led completion of a high-risk automotive radar program. I restored delivery predictability, achieved 90% of program KPIs, and coordinated software release decisions across engineering and leadership.

At Motional AD, Inc., I served as radar technical lead for a second-generation autonomous vehicle platform, driving sensor maturation through vehicle integration. Earlier, at MITRE Corporation and Raytheon Company, I evaluated radar performance, developed MATLAB-based analysis frameworks, and contributed to verification and validation for defense radar programs.
