I build automotive cybersecurity architectures and secure production-ready infotainment platforms.

At Bosch Global Software Technologies, I own cybersecurity requirements, concepts and test specifications for Android 12/14 IVI products for Nissan and Mitsubishi. I lead Secure/Verified Boot, SELinux, encryption, key management, app security, OTA, SEP/TARA implementation and production security enablement while owning backlog, releases and OEM engagement.

I've grown from embedded Linux QA and security testing into cybersecurity architecture and product ownership across GENIVI Linux, Android/AOSP and Bosch HAL. I’ve supported Renault, Nissan, Mitsubishi and Suzuki, resolved production security issues, improved production test capacity through automation, and mentored engineers across global teams.
