I'm leading the Embedded Software team at Lyft Level 5, Lyft's autonomous vehicle division. My team develops and deploys firmware for automotive ECUs for Vehicle Integration, Power, and Safety. Our ECUs are part of a distributed system and are tightly integrated with the main AV computer. We develop our software mainly in modern C++ and target various Cortex-R based platforms running an RTOS.

I work as the tech lead of the Embedded SW team. My responsibilities include the team's roadmap, managing of multi-team projects, task and resource allocations, as well as interfacing with customers and stakeholders. The focus of our work is currently on L5's next-generation self-driving vehicle platforms, where my team is providing ECU FW for Motion Control, the Power Subsystem, and Safety.

I work as a technical leader in the Embedded SW team. We develop SW (C++) for autonomous vehicles and I am currently leading projects for Vehicle Controls and Verification&Validation. In addition, I'm responsible for parts of the Embedded SW roadmap, interface with stakeholders, and provide leadership to engineers across multiple teams.

Developing and architecting Embedded SW (C++) and systems for Lyft's emerging self-driving car program at their Level 5 Engineering Center in Palo Alto. I have architected a number of high-impact components, such as frameworks for RTOS abstraction, CAN processing, and Matlab/Simulink integration. In addition, I successfully led a series of Level 5 wide projects relating to the Vehicle Control subsystem for our next-generation vehicle platform, bringing together the work of 15 engineers from 5 different teams.

As a solution architect I work on solutions and products for advanced virtual prototypes targetting pre-silicon verification of multicore SoCs and their embedded software. This includes hybrid hardware-accelerated virtual prototypes leveraging ARM FastModels and Cadence Palladium XP emulation technology.Specifically, I drive system-level performance analysis and improvements and architect and prototype new features in C++. My duties also include coaching SW developers and performing code reviews, and I have had the technical project lead in several high-profile customer engagements.

Customer-facing and solution-oriented position as an Electronic System Level (ESL) expert; developing tailored methodologies, architectures, and solutions for cutting edge many-processor System-on-Chip (SoC) virtual prototypes and products. Specifically, I worked on the architecture and development of a highly modular C++ framework for virtual prototying for one of our key customers.

As a System-level Modeling Expert I work on customer projects developing tailored solutions and methodologies for cutting edge SoC prototypes and products.

Ph.D. programme supervised by Professor Rückert (HNI, Paderborn) and Christian Sauer (Cadence Design Systems). My thesis was on "Application-driven Exploration of a Programmable Platform for Wireless LAN" and covers a flexible 802.11n SW-based MAC implementation, a SystemC exploration framework, and a fully functional FPGA prototype.I worked extensively on a C++-based framework for high-level performance estimation and embedded real-time SW in C and a domain-specific language as well as performance benchmarking/estimation of embedded realtime SW.
