With ten years of experience in engineering, I am passionate about developing innovative and customer-centric solutions for the tire and automotive industry. As a principal engineer at Goodyear, I lead several projects in the algorithm development team and coordinate the go-to-market strategies and customer feedback processes. I am motivated by the mission of Goodyear to deliver safe, smart, and sustainable mobility solutions for the future.
In my current role, I have increased the maturity of the algorithms based on customer feedback and benchmarked and integrated new technologies into the algorithm development approach. I have also established a new invention mining process together with the patent department , resulting in multiple patent applications. I have leveraged my skills in SharePoint, PowerPoint, Kanban and Agile to manage projects and communicate effectively with internal and external stakeholders. Additionally, I have obtained the Agile Leader Certification from Six Sigma Global Institute, which has enhanced my ability to lead and empower my team in a fast-paced and dynamic environment.
