Project history
- Main responsible for the software development of a R&D project, including research, firmware, backend, frontend, networking, documentation, testing, and system design. Grew it into the largest project in the team's portfolio.
- Architected and developed an industrial desktop application for constrained devices, integrating a 3D digital twin and optimized handling of 7,000+ images in grid. Built with C++20, Qt6, QML, OpenCV. Developed deep-learning image stitching algorithm using Python and PyTorch.
- Engineered an async virtualized image-grid lazy loading technique, reducing image grid loading time by 90%. And an async HTTP clientâserver solution capable of streaming, recording, and capturing 40 cameras at the same time. Using C++, pistache, OpenAPI, nginx, boost asio, and uWebSockets.
- Designed and implemented a cross-platform, cross-communication, cross-device angle sensor library in C++. As well as a bootstrap daisy-chain communication protocol using Rust and Raspberry Pi and a serial protocol in bare-metal firmware for the ATMEGA644, using C.
- Developed a containerized end-to-end electric vehicle DC charging (ISO 15118) simulation test on the CI pipeline, using C++, Python Docker, and Gitlab CI.
- Published 1 patent related to energy protection and optimization for residential homes.
- Worked on BMW autonomous driving solutions, with experience in lane guiding, hands-off driving, object prediction, and motion planning.
- Spearheaded the creation of 2 new teams to work with BMW, one as deputy lead, and performed duties as a Teaching Assistant at the C++ Academy.
- Mentored 8 colleagues from interns to seniors and wrote the official unit onboarding documentation used by +100 people and 2 hubs (Portugal & India).
- Achieved consistently a âsurpassed expectationsâ in performance reviews, increasing every year my internal proficiency level.
- Designed a KPI architecture for object prediction and led the team in its development as an assigned KPI expert, code owner, and reviewer. Used C++, Python, Spark, Docker, Jenkins, Airflow, Grafana, and InfluxDB. Assisted in a graph-based GUI (Qt5) to display ground-truth vs predicted trajectory.
- Implemented the collision detection feature for acceptance tests in a Unity-based simulation with +10 activities depending on it, using the boost library.
- Developed C and C++ safety-critical on-board software following MISRA C, ISO 26262, and AUTOSAR (adaptive and classic) standards as well as unit, mock, integration, acceptance, HiL (Hardware in the Loop), fuzzing, and full coverage testing. For ASIL B and ASIL C.
Worked at MAN Digital Hub to design and implement energy management solutions for electric trucks and buses. Developed expertise in embedded topics such as C++, C, AUTOSAR, and MISRA C, and upgraded a booking tool web app using React and Java.
