Advising organizations on the design, assurance, and deployment of safety- and security-critical systems. Focus areas include system safety, functional safety, and cybersecurity at the system level, with emphasis on translating regulatory and standards requirements (e.g., ISO 26262, IEC 61508, ISO/SAE 21434) into robust, scalable engineering and assurance practices. Work spans safety concepts, hazard and risk analysis, safety case development, and the integration of cybersecurity into safety-critical architectures. Supporting clients in addressing complex, cross-domain challenges where standards, emerging technologies, and operational constraints intersect.
Focus on the automotive functional safety testing and inspection business in North America – particularly in the areas of advanced driver assistance systems and highly automated driving systems. Own the Functional Safety Practice for Automotive of TUV Rheinland of North America.
