About

I am a Technical Lead at Actevia and a Strategic Partner Consultant for NVIDIA, driving the quality engineering strategy for next-generation AD L2++ ADAS platforms. My core expertise lies in architecting and validating safety-critical, automotive-grade C++ systems on Linux. Transitioning from scalable .NET enterprise web solutions to autonomous driving, I bring a full-stack perspective to high-integrity software. I develop real-time GUI applications (Qt, OpenCV, OpenGL), manage large-scale Bazel build operations, and enforce rigorous ISO 26262 (ASIL-B/QM) functional safety standards. By directing validation strategies, Coverity static analysis, GTest code coverage, and CI/CD optimizations, I ensure absolute reliability for autonomous systems. In my leadership, I focus on fostering engineering discipline, resolving complex system failures, and aligning distributed teams around shared quality benchmarks. Let's connect to discuss collaborations in autonomous technology, system design, and the future of mobility software.
