Porsche Engineering

Super stoked to share that I will be joining SpaceX in Hawthorne next week, supporting Development of future Spacecraft as a Test Specialist. Really looking forward to working with Engineering Rock-Stars and all the things that I get to learn from them. Special thanks to Kyle Brueggemann and the interview Team for a super seamless experience! Let’s go… 🚀🇺🇸

In automotive software, resilience is no longer a “nice to have” capability, it has become the core software engineering capability. We are operating in a context of shifting priorities, cost pressure and increasing complexity. In such times, the natural reaction is to slow down, protect, and wait for clarity. But resilience is not about waiting. It is about adapting — fast, consciously, and together with the entire team! From what I see these days, the teams that move forward in crisis are the ones that: Stay close to the customer – even when requirements are unclear; Shorten feedback loops – not months, but weeks or days; Protect their core capabilities – people, knowledge, and engineering discipline; Simplify decisions – focusing on what truly creates value At the same time, crisis can become a powerful trigger for innovation. Not because conditions are ideal — but because constraints force clarity. Innovation in difficult times often looks different: Less about big bets, more about smart iterations Less about wait for the right time, more about speed and learning Less about isolated ideas, more about cross-team inno collaboration In automotive software, where systems are deeply interconnected, this shift is critical. Resilient organizations don’t just survive crises. They use them to rethink how they build, how they collaborate, and how they deliver. And in many cases, they come out stronger — not by chance, but by design. #automotive #software #leadership #resilience #innovation
