I began my career in 2004 as a control simulation engineer with GIAT Industry (now Nexter) and PSA Peugeot Citroën. From 2005 to 2006, while still with PSA, I worked on an innovative project focused on supervisory control design for AMT gearboxes. In 2007, I transitioned to production powertrain software development, covering diesel, petrol, HEV, and Stop&Start systems, coinciding with the company's rollout of the Autosar standard.
Between 2011 and 2015, I was with Valeo Engine Management System, where I designed the torque path for the in-house engine software platform. In 2015, I moved to the UK to join JLR's VCU software team, delivering PHEV, BEV, and MEHV projects. In 2018, I joined Dyson as the VCU software control design lead for their BEV project. In 2020, I joined CRRC to work on OBC development. Finally, at the end of 2021, I joined Changan UK, where I currently lead the Software Platform & Integration Team.
