Systems & Requirements Engineering
Requirements elicitation, structure, traceability, interfaces, change management and SysML across the system lifecycle.
Professional profile
Systems engineering leadership from requirements to validated delivery.
I am a senior systems engineer and technical product lead with more than ten years of experience in complex automotive product development. My work connects customer expectations, requirements, development teams, vehicle integration, verification and delivery.
I combine systems thinking with hands-on understanding of software, electronics, testing and physical products. This allows me to enter complex programmes quickly, communicate across disciplines and take ownership of technically demanding work.
