Experience

Industry Experiences

I have 5 years of experience in embedded software development across telecommunications, IT service management, and automotive systems. At Thales Technologies, I developed SIM card operating systems and performed validation and testing in a hybrid Waterfall-Agile setup. I then supported Java applications and BI reporting under ITIL processes at Accenture. Most recently, I worked with FPT Software as a consultant for Hyundai AutoEver, focusing on Automotive SPICE (A-SPICE) processes from Software Architectural Design (SWE.2) to Software Qualification Testing (SWE.6). I also implemented CI/CD automation using Jenkins and Python to improve static analysis and problem resolution efficiency.
