ADAS Validation Strategy & Dev Ecosystem Architecture

I help automotive companies design and implement scalable validation strategies for ADAS and L3/L4 autonomous systems through digital testing methods. Operating at the ecosystem and architecture level—I support strategic technology decisions, validation framework design, and cross-partner integration, not just tool configuration.

With 7+ years at Bosch as Chief Product Owner for simulation and SIL testing platforms, I pioneered validation approaches that reduce dependency on physical proving grounds. Available for consulting engagements with OEMs, Tier-1 suppliers, automotive startups, platform vendors, and investment firms.

Also: Co-founder of Tornaido UG, developing AI-driven education technology.

Deep expertise in validation & verification for ADAS and autonomous driving systems, with a focus on ecosystem architecture and strategic technology decisions.

During my time as Chief Product Owner at Bosch, I led validation platform initiatives involving multiple internal teams and external partners. I pioneered comprehensive digital validation approaches for L4 systems, built strategic partnerships across the automotive industry, and served as technical interface between customers and platform development teams. My work focused on transforming traditional V&V approaches into scalable, integrated digital testing ecosystems.

I operate at the architecture and ecosystem level—helping companies design validation frameworks, evaluate and integrate simulation platforms, define Make-or-Buy strategies for testing infrastructure, and coordinate cross-partner validation workflows.

In parallel, I co-founded Tornaido UG, an AI-driven ed-tech company focused on personalized learning solutions. This entrepreneurial initiative showcases ability to build products from concept to launch, combining technical architecture with business strategy.
