About

I'm an engineer with more than 20 years of experience in functional safety for automotive, railway, semiconductors and military industries. My expertise is dedicated to: - Functional safety for HW (system, ECU or IC levels) and SW - Working with partners, suppliers, customers and colleagues in international context (Japan, India, US, Germany, Egypt ...) Based on this experience, I dedicate my professional project to work in international context for technical topics related to eletronics and functional safety. In addition to professional activities, I have a strong interest in photography (www.espritdebrume.fr) and understanding other cultures.
