Systems EngineeringArchitectural DesignAutomotive IndustryAUTomotive Open System Architecture (AUTOSAR)Software Architecture
Software engineer with more than six years experience on automotive industry, and another four years as automation engineer. During my last years I had the opportunity to cover all development phases, starting from analyzing customer requirements, creating software architecture, developing and testing the software. 

Most of the projects I worked on are AUTOSAR and A-SPICE compliant. Regarding AUTOSAR experience I worked on application, RTE and BSW layers. For two of the projects I was software architect, responsible for creating architectural design, defining interfaces, analyzing customer requirements and ensure A-SPICE process. 

I had the opportunity to participate to the workshops for different customers:
- workshop in Germany and Sweden for car testing for Porsche
- workshop in France for defining the process and getting familiar with test environment for Renault
- workshop in Romania for Continental
