With over 19 years of experience in software engineering, cloud platforms, and embedded systems, I have led and delivered complex solutions across automotive, telecom, and SaaS domains. My career spans developing connected vehicle platforms, infotainment systems, ADAS, PBX, VoIP, and mediation/billing software, blending deep technical expertise with strategic leadership. Currently working as a Technical Manager at Stellantis, I lead the design and delivery of a SaaS-based Dealer Dashboard platform - enabling real-time insights into vehicle health, fuel, and service metrics through AWS, Kubernetes, and CI/CD automation. Previously, at Harman International, I contributed to next-generation automotive infotainment and ADAS systems, leveraging Machine Learning, Computer Vision, ROS, QNX, and AUTOSAR to power connected and intelligent mobility solutions. I’ve also built a strong foundation in telecom and real-time communication, having worked on Radisys Media Server (SIP, VoIP, C++), PBX systems, and mediation & billing applications - ensuring high performance, scalability, and reliability. Throughout my career, I’ve been passionate about cloud-native architectures, DevOps automation, embedded innovation, and AI-driven systems - driving digital transformation from the edge to the cloud.
