About Me

I am a software engineer who works on systems that connect software to real machines.

My background is in automotive and manufacturing environments, where I have built automation, data acquisition, and analysis tools used in test cells, labs, and factory settings. Much of my work focuses on making complex physical systems easier to understand through reliable software and data.

I am most interested in roles where software supports engineering work directly. That includes test systems, control-adjacent software, industrial IoT, and data-heavy R&D tools in automotive, manufacturing, and aerospace environments.

Experience

Volvo Group Truck Technology

Experienced Automation Engineer

March 2024 - January 2026

Engine test automation and data systems supporting R&D and certification work.

Worked on Morphee-based engine test cell automation systems supporting R&D, performance and regulatory certification testing. Designed and validate automated test sequences, integrate instrumentation and data acquisition hardware, and support engineers during test execution and troubleshooting in compliance-driven environments.

Designed and implemented an application to convert .rec files into Parquet format for ingestion into Volvo’s global data pipeline. Built a background service to monitor incoming test data and automate transformation and validation so results are available quickly to engineering and analytics teams. Maintained and extended internal lab support software, including legacy ASP.NET applications backed by Entity Framework and SQL Server. Added functionality, fixed defects, and kept internal tools operational for engineers running daily tests.

Implemented new CAN FD architecture within the engine test cell automation system to support next-generation powertrain platforms, including 2030 model-year engines and future autonomous vehicle programs. Allowed for future engine certification and performance testing.

Designed and implemented the automation sequence for our Performance test cells EPA 2027 OBD Aging certification test. Ensured test repeatability, data integrity, and alignment with certification requirements.

Led integration of a new FTIR emissions analyzer into the automation environment, including commissioning a portable PEMS FTIR bench within an engine test cell. Work included hardware integration, signal validation, and software support to ensure reliable data capture during testing. Allowed for expanding lab capability in a resource constrained environment.
