The Pop in Your Job:
In my first couple of years at the University of Michigan, I was introduced to the superpower that is embedded software development. Since then, my interests have revolved around software that interacts with the physical world. Mechatronics, robotics, the Internet of Things - the application of these concepts excites me. Enabling the development and verification of autonomous vehicles is a natural extension of these interests, and is a concept that has the ability to save lives and improve quality of life.
In my day-to-day today, I strive to lead a team which is creative and ambitious in our pursuit to solve customer problems. We design and deliver solutions which bridge the gap from the specifications of dSPACE products like RTMaps and the AUTERA AutoBox to meet the specific requirements of our users. We do this in order to enable their success in creating the automated driving features of tomorrow.
