  • Quality Tools: Experience with code quality metrics, static/dynamic analysis tools, and comprehensive software testing methodologies.
  • Audit Experience: Experience participating in or leading formal ASPICE assessments or ISO 26262 functional safety audits.
  • Agile Transformation: Experience adapting traditional automotive standards (V-Model) into Agile, Scrum, or Scaled Agile (SAFe) environments.
