Advisory Engagements
Senior engineering leadership, without adding a permanent line to the org chart.
Fractional leadership, strategy and architecture review, and program rescue — from someone who has carried a vehicle program from app to backend to OTA to launch across multiple org boundaries.
What it's for
A program that's slipping and you need an honest diagnosis. An architecture decision that will be expensive to get wrong. A rollout strategy for a fleet measured in the millions. A team that needs senior technical leadership for a defined stretch, not a new headcount you'll have to unwind later.
What you get
Hands-on senior judgment on the real questions: AAOS/AOSP and IVI/MBUX integration, connected-vehicle backends, OTA and progressive rollout, entitlements, and the cross-functional sequencing — app, backend, vehicle, security, legal — that quietly determines whether a feature ships on time. Independent enough to tell you the plan is wrong. Experienced enough to know why, and what to do instead.
