About

I’m a Senior Automotive Embedded Engineer with over 10 years of experience building and delivering production-grade software systems in the automotive domain, with a strong focus on AUTOSAR Classic architecture and embedded systems engineering. Currently at Mercedes-Benz R&D India, I work at the intersection of system and software engineering—bridging functional requirements with networking architecture, delivering ECU extracts, and validating real-world vehicle behavior. My work involves ensuring signal integrity, system robustness, and seamless integration across complex automotive platforms. Over the years, I’ve developed deep expertise in: • AUTOSAR Classic architecture and Base Software (BSW) • Embedded C/C++ development for safety-critical systems • COM stack integration (CAN, LIN, FlexRay, J1939) • Diagnostics (UDS, ISO 14229 – DEM/DCM) • ISO 26262 Functional Safety and ASPICE-compliant development • Software architecture design using UML/SysML Previously, as a Systems Architect at Aptiv and a Senior Software Engineer at Bosch, I led architecture-driven development, authored software requirements, and collaborated across cross-functional teams to deliver scalable, high-performance solutions for global OEMs including Daimler, Ford, and Jaguar Land Rover. I bring a strong combination of technical depth and systems thinking—capable of translating complex requirements into robust architectures while aligning stakeholders across system and software domains. I’m particularly passionate about advancing automotive software architecture and contributing to next-generation mobility systems across electric, connected, and intelligent vehicles. If you’re working on cutting-edge automotive platforms or looking to collaborate on complex embedded systems challenges, I’d be glad to connect.
