  • Leading to 6 people agile team, including 1 designer and international people.
  • Planned software development workflow step-by-step. (GIT Flow, Kanban Reference, CI, Versioning etc.)
  • Digital instrument cluster (DIC) project has planned and done from scratch from requirement anaylsis to product. It has 2 main parts, application and Linux distro. We've created our own distro by planning and patching all the distro creating process step-by-step to meet with the automotive standarts. You can see it from the media below or in the Günsel B9 reviews. I introduce it in this video: https://youtu.be/cFDvI-h-SS0?t=163 The application is structured, flexible and efficient. For example, you can easily create a new GUI from scratch and run it on the backend, or you can easily process a new CAN device's data by DIC, only by putting it's DBC file to the specified folder.
  • Online, real-time telemetry project is planned and done from scratch. It has 3 main parts, vehicle software, server, client. All done by Software Team from scratch.
  • CAN Simulator project is planned and done. The project aim is testing/simulating virtual/vehicle CAN network easily. It's actively being used for short-term or long-term tests. It has lots of extra features to make a long-term heavy test on the CAN network according to planned scenerios.
