VCU- Virtual Cockpit Unit is a Bosch convergence project to reduce the complexity in the vehicle cockpit by combining multiple functions into single control unit. Read more at 'Bosch Mobility Solutions'

In this project, in SAFe terms, I am responsible to maintain the ART (Agile Release Train) with CICD tools like Jenkins, Git, Gerrit and Artifactory.  I contribute to backlog grooming every PI and project branching strategy, in alignment with the customer.  I act as a central node between Bosch bring up team and external vendors to align software releases and perform the smooth imports. 

My daily activities include maintaining a healthy mainline, exchanging patches between internal and external teams, supporting dev teams for integration blockers, planning features for future PI and maintaining a complex manifest structure. 

After working for three years in automotive software industry, I decided to pursue advanced studies in the field. I started with Grand Valley State University in 2016 but I found a better match at University of Michigan- Dearborn. Pursuing this degree made me equipped with advanced skills required for high performance jobs. I learnt many subjects like software SDLC, artificial intelligence, data base, automotive software development, data patterns etc. to widen my technical knowledge. Throughout the course my ability to multitask under pressure helped me complete the program faster with "Distinction".

This was a demo project to showcase HMI implementation of a modern IVI system, based on Kendrick Canyon software platform in Qt/QtQuick and featuring convergence technology.

My responsibility was to enhance "mySPIN", a Bosch proprietary Smart Phone Integration Framework, with Android Auto and CarPlay for QNX phone projection module. I integrated Internet-radio component into QNX CAR 2.2 platform, performed system profiling with QNX Momentics and system testing.

We were a small team working on this project, performing no dedicated topic but every possible task. It was fun to see how we transformed from co-workers to a family.

IVI- iApps framework was designed to feature vehicle-cellphone integration. In addition to the bluetooth connection, the infotainment system had its own appstore to purchase or download the apps. The project also featured Android-Auto and CarPlay.

I was responsible to develop InternetRadio component to interface with "Pandora" music app on the phone, to analyze and fix the functional issues with IAP (iPhone Accessory Profile)/AAP (Android Accessory Profile) and to develop middleware components to integrate MOST-GMLAN vehicle signals in iApps to make them app readable. 

Fresh out of the college, this was my first project. Its no secrete that initial couple of months were rough to get adjusted to the corporate culture. I cannot thank enough to my mentors who made me what I am today.

I graduated from MMEC, Belgaum in 2013 with 'Distinction' in Bachelor of Electronics and Communication Engineering. These four years of my college are the golden years of my life where I had limitless opportunities to explore my personality. The only condition was to maintain good academic score, and in parallel I could serve as a cultural secretary of the department, I initiated IEEE student chapter, performed in stage shows, hosted three national level tech fest's and directed and shot three short films on different occasions. During these years I realized my passion for engineering and getting placed at Bosch was a dream come true. It is all possible because of the support of my family, friends and  teachers who believed in me and supported through my every decision.
