About Miguel

I am Miguel Fornell, a senior developer with extensive experience in research and automotive.

I help manufacturers, Tier-1 suppliers, and ITS infrastructure operators maintain continuous compliance with UN R155, ISO/SAE 21434, NIS2, and the EU AI Act by integrating regulatory requirements directly into V2X platforms, embedded firmware, and critical architectures.

I don't just audit or document: I keep the CSMS and compliance evidence alive, traceable, and auditable throughout the product lifecycle.

My approach combines compliance and real engineering. I work directly on the systems that need to be secured and certified:

• V2X: LTE-V2X / NR-V2X, sidelink PC5
• High-precision GNSS: RTK, PPP, dual antenna, u-blox
• Embedded firmware in C/C++ on RTOS
• CAN-FD networks and AUTOSAR architectures
• Critical systems under ISO 26262 and IEC 61508

This allows me to translate regulatory requirements into defensible architectural decisions for audits and viable solutions for development teams.

Experience applied in:

• ITS infrastructure deployed in production
• Interoperability of V2X stacks and traffic light regulators
• Instrumented automotive testing laboratories
• 5G/V2X TCUs, CAN bus, DMS, UWB, and private 5G networks
• Testing, virtualization, and validation of cooperative systems

Additionally, I participate in technical publications and research projects related to V2X, edge computing, cooperative ITS, and ETSI services for connected and automated driving.

I primarily work on a recurring advisory/retainer basis, integrating with technical teams as an observability, compliance, and regulatory continuity layer over deployed systems.

If your organization needs to prepare for UN R155 homologation, strengthen its CSMS, or maintain continuous compliance evidence for NIS2, we can work together.
