About Lukas

Automotive software faces challenges in aligning quality assurance with agile development, leading to cultural clashes, slow feature delivery, and high bug rates. Meeting ASPICE compliance becomes difficult without an integrated model.

Heavy documentation burdens developers, slowing turnaround times and increasing bugs. Organizations risk failing ASPICE assessments, delaying launches, and damaging reputations.


As a quality manager and ASPICE consultant, I align ASPICE and SAFe frameworks through a CI/CD-integrated process model. My methods cut feature delivery time by 5–10x, reduce bug rates by 50%, and ensure ASPICE Level 1 compliance.

Proven Results

At Mercedes-Benz R&D:
• Improved feature delivery by 10x and reduced bugs by 50%.
• Resolved all quality audit findings for ASPICE Level 1 readiness.
• Mapped SAFe roles to ASPICE, creating scalable frameworks.
• Streamlined processes, boosting developer satisfaction.

How I Deliver

• Process Integration: Map ASPICE and SAFe roles to align workflows.
• Automation: Implement tools for real-time tracking and bug reduction.
• Team Alignment: Unite QA and development teams for efficiency.
• Scalability: Roll out solutions across the organization.
• Transformation: Drive automotive strategy and process improvements.

Let’s push down bug rates, speed up delivery, and ensure ASPICE success while maintaining developer satisfaction and the very core of agile.

I offer proven SAFe - ASPICE frameworks and ai driven improvement strategies, delivering lasting transformation for automotive teams.
