About

Accomplished Senior Software Professional and Tech Lead with over 8 years of experience in Embedded Systems and C++ Development. Currently leading the FastRPC and ADAS Platform testing areas, specializing in high-performance automotive segments. I offer deep expertise in driving APIECE Complaint lifecycles (SWE.1–SWE.6) and ensuring adherence to Functional Safety (ISO 26262) standards. My career is defined by managing cross-functional teams of 4–5 engineers through complex technical audits and safety-critical projects. I have successfully delivered validation for global rail projects, including the Riyadh and Sydney Metro systems. Expert-level proficiency in C/C++ development is complemented by my experience in Computer Vision and Neural Network API validation. I am a certified ISO 26262 Functional Safety Engineer Level-1 through TÜV SÜD. Additionally, I hold both ISTQB Advanced Level and Foundation Level certifications, ensuring world-class testing standards. My technical background is supported by an M.Tech in Computer Science from NSIT and a 99.2 percentile score in GATE 2015. I am passionate about driving validation excellence and mentoring teams to maintain high-quality engineering standards.
