Led efforts to identify and solve existing problems in the global vehicle release life cycle. Created detailed technical requirements and change request design documents based on regional business needs across multiple global project teams, along with managing cross-team integrations and collaboration. • Provided monthly GAP analysis for global teams across a myriad of features, along with managing the process of implementation across the teams for any gaps found solving issues with vehicles being released to the globe without proper software support within the vehicle as well as customer experience and owner application support. • Created a vehicle release process to alleviate concerns providing a top-down global approach to vehicle releases allowing all teams supporting the release to support features and develop code in line with vehicle release timelines eliminating the need for the monthly gap analysis. • Provided architect support for several application teams through the creation of technical requirements/design documentation and management of the solution across all global teams assuring new vehicle features are supported across the globe (e.g. child reminder system).
