Factory Car Navigation for Mazda

Developed an embedded car navigation system used worldwide by millions. I was involved as a lead developer and later as a team leader from the very first steps until the final release. I defined the integration APIs, supported the sales team by giving estimations, and helped the project manager set up the project plan. I also assigned team members to tasks and was personally involved in developing some critical parts.

Ultra Low Cost Navigation for Renault/Skoda

https://dacia.welcome.naviextras.com/
Supervised the migration of the company's navigation system into the customer's platform. I identified essential development items and supported the project manager in creating the project plan. I also attended a customer workshop to define integration APIs.

Factory Car Navigation for FujitsuTen/Subaru

Worked as a technical lead on the company's first delivered automotive project for a Japanese customer (FujitsuTen). I ported the existing software to the customer's platform and defined integration APIs and new functionalities with the customer. I had daily contact with the customer to identify and solve issues on the product.

Sales Support SW Used by Fortune 500

https://ignitetech.com/softwarelibrary/trilogysalesbuilder
Started to work on IgniteTech's SalesBuilder in the maintenance phase, when the project was used by a Fortune 500 company intensively. The main tasks were to find the root causes of issues reported by the customer. Besides that, I did a performance improvement (50% execution time reduction) in the C++ libraries. I split the SW into microservices and transitioned to hosting the product on Docker. Created a framework to be able to run the existing tests automatically on an environment deployed by CICD.

Robotics Management Application Back-end

A Python-based back end deployed via AWS Lambda with DB connection (AWS RDS), which serves the web application to monitor manufacturing robots. I extended the existing functionalities by adding new endpoints, planning the DB migration, documenting the functions, and ensuring that tests covered the parts. I also upgraded the CI/CD system by introducing several linters and static checkers into the flow, making the tests faster by parallelizing them. I reviewed database queries to ensure we use an optimal way to access the DB.
