Career Highlights

Transforming EV Infrastructure

Ford set out to build a digital marketplace for telematics and connected vehicle services, but the project quickly evolved into a foundational platform that transformed the company's approach to software and electrification.

By integrating software update capabilities directly into the assembly line and enabling over-the-air updates across the fleet, I helped architect the network that now powers Ford's digital product ecosystem.

This infrastructure not only allowed for seamless distribution of new features and services to all vehicles-including third-party makes-but also became the critical enabler for Ford's electric vehicle (EV) strategy. Without this unified digital backbone, Ford's rapid EV innovation and market expansion would not have been possible, positioning the company as a leader in connected and electrified mobility.
