Experienced Systems Architect with a strong focus on hardware concepts tailored to meet specific use cases.
My career has been largely shaped by the automotive industry, where I have designed systems for software-defined cockpit, infotainment, navigation, and autonomous driving.
Beyond automotive, I have demonstrated adaptability through successful projects in autonomous mobile robotics and pipeline inspection technologies.
I have led cross-functional teams and gained deep expertise in system design and development.
While I value leadership, my true passion lies in solving complex technological challenges.
