About Paul

Are you looking for an experienced embedded and automotive software engineer who can reliably bring your projects to series production? Then you've come to the right place: over 15 years of practical experience along the entire value chain – from hardware-near drivers to system architecture, including integration, quality assurance, and series readiness.

I will particularly support you with complex in-vehicle communication solutions: CAN, LIN, FlexRay, and Automotive Ethernet – including transceiver, switch, and controller drivers. Additionally, I handle the porting and bring-up of AUTOSAR stacks on new microcontroller platforms and the development of high-performance network gateways.

What makes me special: I combine deep technical understanding at the MCAL and AUTOSAR level with architectural competence and project experience in international teams. I think not just in features, but in stable, scalable systems that meet the requirements of series projects and standards like MISRA C and ASPICE.

Typical services you can expect from me:

Development and integration of AUTOSAR components
Porting to new hardware platforms including bring-up
Architecture and design of embedded systems
Development of network gateways and communication modules
Technical leadership, code reviews, and quality assurance
Presales, feasibility studies, and customer support

If you have a project that requires robust embedded software and clean architecture, I can get started productively right away.
