Principal Engineer

Global Automotive Telematics Platform

Owned technical delivery and architecture for a global telematics platform used in millions of premium vehicles. Managed a 12-person cross-functional team and acted as the primary technical contact for a premium German automotive OEM.

The challenge

An escalated program for a premium automotive OEM needed stable delivery and clear architectural ownership across a global telematics platform running in millions of vehicles.

What I did

  • Took ownership of architecture and final technical decisions across the platform.
  • Led a 12-person cross-functional team of engineers and QA.
  • Acted as the primary technical contact for the OEM, managing stakeholders directly.
  • Rebuilt complex release processes to stabilize delivery.

Outcome
