Excited to share that I've just completed Ford's Digital Advanced program on @Forage! 🚀 During this immersive experience, I had the opportunity to dive deep into several key areas: 🔹 Job Simulation: I engaged in a job simulation where I built containers for one of Ford's backend development teams. It was a hands-on experience that allowed me to understand the intricacies of containerization in a real-world context. 🔹 Backend Development: I developed a robust backend system to stream engine temperature sensor readings from cars directly to mobile phones. This project involved designing efficient data pipelines and ensuring seamless communication between devices. 🔹 Containerization with Docker Compose: I connected a Flask server to a Redis instance using Docker Compose, showcasing my skills in container orchestration and deployment. The Digital Advanced program at Ford provided me with invaluable insights into cutting-edge technologies and real-world challenges in the automotive industry. I'm grateful for the opportunity to learn and grow alongside industry experts. #FordDigitalAdvanced #Forage #BackendDevelopment #Containerization #DockerCompose #TechSkills #LearningAndDevelopment

Solving driver safety, driver behaviour monitoring and eventually solving for autonomy is a complex problem. We're a small team @drivebuddyAI and we have been able to achieve the level presented here and this is just a teaser of the problem to solve for the industry and for the world. When drivers shares that "All the alerts are coming on time and quite useful & have forced us to pull it aside in case of high criticality", we can say that AI can infuse confidence and a sense of reliability to humans and is relatively a good success level for AI. We're searching for passionate people to work with us on this complex problem having experience in #embeddedsystems #artificialintelligence #deeplearning #machinelearning #fleetmanagement #finance & #datascience Reach out to us on hr@drivebuddyai.co for interests and further discussions.

Had a short but interesting discussion last week with Marius Dupuis from ASAM - a standardization organisation driving a few quite important standards -, the hexagon team, and the #ADAS team working with me here at Bosch Global Software Technologies. Context was standardized data-flow, in particular with respect to Software-in-the-Loop and Hardware-in-the-Loop #SiL, #HiL for Driver Assistance and Automated Driving business. The trend towards highly modularised SW stacks is accelerating in ADAS. Typically many teams work together from various partners, with the need for fast-paced feedback-cycles being in place across multiple companies. In such an environment, open standards become an important enabling factor to shorten initial alignment, strengthen re-use and make Continuous Integration on Complete Software-System Level feasible. #CICT #DevOps
