About

Senior ADAS & Perception Engineer with 9 years of experience in autonomous mobility and automotive software development.My expertise spans radar- and camera-based perception, multi-sensor fusion, and safety-critical ADAS functions such as LKA. I have designed and stabilized state-machine-based classification algorithms, resolved EKF-related fusion issues, and optimized YOLO-based object detection models for real-time embedded automotive platforms.I bring strong hands-on experience in Model-Based Development using MATLAB/Simulink and TargetLink, along with embedded C/C++ development. I also have a solid foundational understanding of machine learning concepts relevant to perception systems, enabling effective collaboration with ML teams and informed decision-making around model behavior and performance.In addition to technical depth, I have led and mentored engineering teams, collaborated closely with radar, simulation, HIL, and driving-function teams, and acted as a technical interface for customer issue analysis and solution alignment.I am particularly interested in senior perception, sensor fusion, and safety-critical ADAS roles where deep technical ownership and system-level thinking are valued.
