ABOUT ME

From 2013 to 2022, I architected real-time computer vision algorithms for Mercedes-Benz ADAS at LG Electronics, where I led development of lane detection systems achieving NCAP 2020+ compliance and processing 30+ FPS video streams with 99.7% accuracy. My solutions directly contributed to LG winning the AutoSens Award for automotive innovation. From March 2022 to June 2023, I optimized HiL/SiL testing frameworks at DXC Luxoft, reducing validation time by 45% through automated test orchestration.

Currently at Autocrypt Technologies GmbH since June 2023, I bridge automotive cybersecurity with modern DevOps practices as Technical Project Manager, overseeing IDPS development for next-generation connected vehicles. Leading a distributed team of 15+ engineers, I’ve implemented agile methodologies that improved delivery predictability by 60%. My role combines hands-on security architecture (AUTOSAR-compliant IDPS, Hardware Security Module integration, real-time threat monitoring on ARM Cortex processors) with strategic program management for a Tier-1 supplier serving a global OEM.

My technical foundation spans C++ (12+ years), Python, Docker, Kubernetes, and emerging cloud technologies. I’ve published peer-reviewed research including LiDAR Denoising Methods in Adverse Environments: A Review published in IEEE Sensors Journal, 2025, and Kalman Filter-Based Suspicious Object Tracking for Border Security and Surveillance System using Fixed Automotive Radar for Sensor Signal Processing for Defence 2023. Actively pursuing AWS Solutions Architect certification to complement my embedded systems expertise with cloud-native architectures, positioning myself at the intersection of automotive innovation and enterprise-scale computing.
