This involved coordinating multiple software releases and supervising the entire software developing cycle: from coding, to testing, validation, certification and, as a last step, maintenance. My main working tools were Jira, Confluence, Android Partners Software and Jenkins

As a project manager of a consumer electronics device, not only I was responsible for the firmware-side of the project, but also the hardware part and the manufacturing part.
