Project history
Acting as Product Owner for a flash bootloader solution compatible with NXP and Texas Instruments chips, driving the development lifecycle and managing stakeholder communication. Developed and maintained core components of a smart car access application using BLE, NFC, and UWB. Contributed to the full application lifecycle in Embedded C, Python, and MatLab Simulink with unit testing via CANoe, TPT, and SWATT. Implemented CI/CD pipelines using Git, Jenkins, and JFrog Artifactories. Performed hardware debugging with Lauterbach, J-Link, WinIdea, and Saleae, and validated CAN, LIN, SPI networks.
Served as an external contractor for AUMOVIO. Helped develop a Smart Car Access system for the VW customer as a deployment engineer, implementing, integrating, and debugging the access platform. Development was done in C and Python with occasional use of Matlab Simulink on an RTOS-based environment. Debugging done on bench using WinIdea; deployment managed with Git, JFrog, and BitBucket. Worked in an Agile environment using the Kanban methodology.
Initiated development from the ground up for critical SW applications including ignition control, emergency light, and brake light systems for the VAG Group. Developed robust software solutions primarily in C and MATLAB Simulink for embedded systems. Contributed to the full software development lifecycle from requirements analysis to unit testing and deployment. Assisted in onboarding new team members. Began as part of a student program during the second year of university, transitioning to a full contract in May 2018.
