Summary

With over 18 years of expertise in the automotive industry, I began my career in 2006 as a meticulous Vehicle Build Technician, specializing in constructing vehicles for rigorous chamber testing in wind tunnels, environmental drivability chambers, and NVH rooms. In 2010, I transitioned to the Fuel Development Lab, where I conducted extensive performance and durability testing of fuel pump modules, managing an advanced 84-station bench.

In 2017, I joined the pioneering ADAS group, earning Toyota MCDL certification in Japan to spearhead the development of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems. Over two years, I played a pivotal role in refining and innovating ADAS technologies before relocating the program to Pittsburgh. Transitioning into Heat Pump Development, I spent the subsequent two years focusing on advancing cooling solutions for HV batteries and optimizing interior cabin comfort.

My proficiency extends to integrating sophisticated recording equipment and configuring complex systems to capture and analyze data from front camera modules, surround-view cameras, parking sensors, and digital radars, contributing to comprehensive vehicle testing and enhancement strategies.
