What I'm looking for

I seek technical-architect or senior platform roles where I can lead system architecture, OTA and diagnostics security initiatives, mentor teams, and deliver compliant automotive solutions.

I am an Automotive Technical Architect with 15+ years of experience delivering system-level architecture for Adaptive AUTOSAR, HPC/zonal controller platforms, OTA/FOTA, and secure vehicle diagnostics.

I have owned end-to-end OTA lifecycles and OEM cloud integration, defined diagnostics protection mechanisms, and driven platform security for ICAS/HPC systems across QNX and Embedded Linux.

My hands-on experience includes Adaptive AUTOSAR migrations, CAN driver development for Renesas RCAR, virtualization (Xen, QEMU), and tooling for Adaptive AUTOSAR on both QNX and Yocto Linux.

I provide technical leadership, mentor cross-functional teams, lead requirements and verification strategies, and support customer engagement and bids to deliver scalable, compliant automotive solutions.
