Technical Project Manager / Founder

Daimler Buses (EVO Platform – eCitaro, eCitaro G, eCitaro K): Led the battery management system (BMS) program from concept to production launch (SOP Nov 2025). Coordinated hardware/software integration, validation testing, requirements management and supplier deliverables to ensure safety, performance, and homologation compliance.

Key achievement: Successful management of release task-force to ensure stable core BMS software and critical feature delivery.

BMZ Poland (111 kWh Battery System): Managed platform BMS software development, defined DVP&R, monitored industrialization progress, and ensured system integration between design, testing, and manufacturing teams.

Key achievement: Delivered SOP-ready BMS; reduced platform software development costs by 20%, securing automotive mass-production readiness.

BMZ Germany (Wacker Neuson Agriculture & Construction Vehicles): Directed full battery system development for off-highway vehicles, managing requirements flow-down, prototype build planning, and supplier coordination. Supported functional-safety assessments (ISO 26262) and manufacturing readiness.

Key achievement: Completed validation campaign for multi-system type approval and robustness testing, achieving optimized system pricing.

Lightyear (Solar Vehicle Program – Lightyear 0): Led end-to-end battery pack development for a solar electric vehicle, from concept and simulation through prototype and validation. Coordinated mechanical, electrical, and thermal teams to achieve ultra-efficient, lightweight energy storage.

Key achievement: Built the core battery development team and achieved full homologation of the system within 18 months.

TestForge X – Validation Intelligence Platform: Founder and Product Owner of a data-driven platform that connects testing institutes, OEMs, and suppliers through digitalized validation workflows. Designed the system architecture using a microservice backend (Rust + Django) with AI-driven report generation, predictive risk analysis, and resource scheduling.

Key achievements: Defined product vision and roadmap; built and managed cross-functional development teams (software, data, UX); introduced LLM-based modules for document interpretation and automated compliance reporting; positioned the platform as the “Swiss-Army Knife for testing” with 37% administrative time reduction and measurable six-figure cost savings.

Supported engineering change management for HV battery cell modules in collaboration with OEM clients.

Prepared and evaluated change requests (CRs) related to design, testing, and supplier documentation to ensure compliance with program requirements.

Defined and maintained technical requirements, DVP&R, and DFMEA for module design and verification.

Coordinated updates to BOMs, CAD models, and technical specifications, ensuring traceability across design revisions.

Assisted in DFMEA reviews, test result assessments, and release documentation to maintain design integrity through project milestones.

Worked cross-functionally with design, quality, and purchasing teams to ensure smooth implementation of technical changes within program timelines.

Key achievement: Ensured traceable and compliant implementation of engineering changes for HV battery modules across multiple OEM programs, maintaining design integrity and documentation consistency.
