Championed the end-to-end software lifecycle, from articulating clear requirements to supervising implementation, validation, and calibration, ensuring the delivery of robust software products.Directed a scrum team of 10 developers with a focus on agile methodologies, mentoring and empowering team members to excel in their roles and contribute to collective success.Cultivated a shared vision among Business Owners, Product Managers, and fellow Product Owners, aligning diverse teams towards delivering functional software at pivotal milestones.Architected the strategic integration of seven independent standstill-related features into a single, streamlined function called Standstill Manager.Oversaw the development and implementation of Functional Safety protocols, securing ASIL-C certification and reinforcing a leadership mindset focused on safety and compliance. Ensured strict adherence to AUTOSAR standards across all software development initiatives, positioning the team at the forefront of automotive software architecture best practices.Co-led the development of 'Auto Creep', an intelligent grade and mass compensated creep torque that adapts to varying surfaces for an optimized driving experience, demonstrating foresight in feature innovation and a commitment to advancing automotive technology.

Lead weekly cross-organization meeting with all ACC feature owners and SMEs to discuss open issues and feature improvementsAuthored and released ACC specifications updates to address supplier specific issues and general housekeeping.

Led implementation of Driver Assistance of 11 Brake Features on 7 Ford vehicles with a new-to-industry Brake Control supplier.Managed program deliverables with supplier and other organizations, quickly root caused issues then implemented solutions, and calibrated feature performance for customer satisfaction. Created test procedures to calibrate simulated Adaptive Cruise Control test runs. This allowed an out of the box calibration reducing in vehicle usage by 10 hours per feature.Initiated and leading an effort to implement a Live Model in Loop tool that utilizes C scripts, Logitech Racing Wheel, and Arduino inputs in CANape/Simulink environment for model validation. Programmed and showcased demo “Police Bailout Feature” to a National Police Advisory Board with exceptional feedback and planned 2025 implementation.

Served as a key launch engineer for the 2019 Edge and Nautilus vehicle line, providing critical on-site engineering support to swiftly identify, triage, and root cause manufacturing issues related to the braking system, ensuring product quality and manufacturing efficiency.

Innovated the 2019 Lincoln Continental's electric parking brake switch design, slashing Things Gone Wrong (TGW) by over 60%.Partnered with suppliers to streamline brake vacuum hose routing through advanced 3D modeling and motion simulation techniques.Spearheaded a comprehensive analysis, including a Design of Experiments (DOE), to resolve a persistent international brake hose failure issue. Formulated benchmark park brake pedal force profiles for North American vehicles, integrating insights from current models and European standards. Engineered a test apparatus and conducted a DOE to investigate the frictional properties of tube nuts and jounce hoses, contributing to the resolution of assembly challenges on the Ford Super Duty line.
