About Ahmed
I build systems that reach production.
For 15+ years, I've led algorithm development for commercial vehicle safety systems from concept through SOP, across European, American and Asian OEMs.
At a Tier 1 supplier I lead a 15 direct reports team across a 300+ cross-functional R&D engineer program organization. I delivered 11 SOPs across 6 programs and reduced problem reports by 40% through a lean issue-handling process that was later adopted company-wide.
What I actually do:
- Translate complex requirements into structured, testable algorithm architectures
- Drive ASPICE compliance without killing development velocity
- Build rapid prototyping pipelines that cut pre-dev cycles by ~30%
- Lead and coach intercultural teams across 4 continents toward measurable delivery
I've passed CFA Level 1 on the first attempt, because I believe engineers who understand the business impact of their decisions build better systems.
If you're dealing with SW development challenges, ASPICE gaps, or need an experienced technical or strategic hand on a program - let's talk.
