At Deutsche Bahn’s Digitale Schiene Deutschland, I architected and delivered the digital twin platform for autonomous trains, from its technology stack to its codebase. The platform supports AI, computer vision, perception, and sensor integration.
I designed and open-sourced the Onboard Map API for Sensors4Rail, including over-the-air incremental map updates for vehicles in low-bandwidth environments. Bosch and Siemens integrated the library, and my presentation at ITS World Congress Hamburg 2021 helped unblock funding for three follow-up programs.
I carried the digital twin architecture into Automated Train and Digital Knoten Stuttgart, and led the migration from Azure to AWS and from Azure DevOps to GitLab. By bringing map hosting, pipelines, and software development in-house, I helped reduce annual development costs by about 25%; consolidating duplicate workstreams also saved about 50% of development time and budget.
Earlier, I architected an automated-driving project for Ford at Luxoft with HERE Technologies, and developed embedded navigation software for the Volkswagen Group MIB3 platform at Meelogic AG. At Nokia / HERE Technologies, I designed the Nokia Maps API behind Microsoft’s first maps version and developed navigation products for Android and Windows Phone.
