Automotive Expert and Technology Enthusiast
With many years of experience in automotive electronics product development, processes improvement and technical leadership, I’m constantly seeking new challenges and opportunities to grow. This space reflects my professional journey, including key achievements and area of expertise. Stay connected to explore how I can contribute to innovative projects, especially in the automotive electronics, technology, and manufacturing sectors.
Since childhood, cars weren’t just machines to me—they were personalities. I remember sketching car silhouettes on my school books and obsessing over the sound of engines as much as their specs. I was always curious about how they worked—their design, features, and the technology behind them. That curiosity grew into a lifelong interest and eventually into a purpose-driven career: to help shape the future of mobility through engineering.
Over the past 8 years, I’ve built my career in the automotive industry, focusing on embedded systems, intelligent vehicle software, and advanced mobility technologies. I’ve led global teams, delivered safety-critical software, and helped bring innovative features like smart access and AI-powered driver assistance into production for some of the world’s leading OEMs.
I enjoy solving technical challenges, collaborating across disciplines, and creating solutions that make vehicles safer, smarter, and more intuitive to use. The automotive world is changing fast, and I’m excited to be part of that transformation.
