• Leading Train control software; Controlling a budget of €30+ million • Creating a product strategy that includes conducting market analyses, and aligning corporate strategy goals • Preparing product roadmaps involves defining milestones, and establishing KPIs to measure performance and progress. • Analyzing supplier business cases for competency, pricing, and delivery schedules • Collaborating with senior executives Interfaces: Finance, Operations, Production (China-based), Engineering, Quality, Legal

• Delivered train control real-time software comprising all systems and sub-systems – Scope: ~ 2000 requirements • Controlled a budget of €5+ million: Financial planning, measuring forecasted vs actual budget, reporting to department heads and financial PMs and architect based out of EMEA and APAC; Reporting status to project • Planning (capacity and capability) of 30+ engineers across EMEA and APAC; Managed project timelines, budgets, and resources, ensuring efficient delivery to meet project milestones

• Led a team of 4 software developers in designing and developing Train control modes and coupling software (SIL-2) for Deutsche Bahn semi-high speed rail project - Module-driven programming. • Defined software requirements from customer specification, reduced defect rate to less than 15% - aligned interfaces on time with suppliers and improved testing methodology for early error detection • Collaborated with scrum planner, product manager, testing and simulation lead, and system architect

• Designed an algorithm to detect burn marks on insulators from images captured by a drone • Dealt with multiple challenges such as detection of burn marks from other similar objects in image, recognition of insulator within image, scaling issues • Flow: Pre-processed raw images by applying different filters --> extracted the ROI (feature extraction) --> Applied object detection techniques on ROI to detect burn marks • Result: Obtained detection rate of 72.5%

• Developed SIL-0 non-critical software: V-Model Agile development environment (Scrum framework) • Performed vehicle component and module testing (IEC-61131) of safety-critical application (SIL-2) according to EN-50128 for rail projects in Germany, Spain, and UK – Unit testing • Enhanced testing process by automating scripts and test cases; Demonstrated results to team • Succeeded in the transition of work package to external suppliers – knowledge transfer and training of four resources
