Summary

  • Senior Embedded Systems Engineer with over 7 years of experience in the development, integration, and verification of embedded systems in the automotive environment. Over the past years, I have worked on different customer and development projects - from high-voltage systems and battery management systems to charging communication for electric vehicles, driver assistance systems, and research projects in the area of e-mobility.

  • What I find especially exciting is working at the interface between software, systems, and the vehicle. Through my experience in software development with C/C++, system integration, root cause analysis, and technical customer support, I look at challenges not just from one perspective, but with the full system in mind. I enjoy working in international teams, taking responsibility for complex technical topics, and I value working together to develop solutions for demanding projects.
