Vehicle Diagnostics
Develop, integrate, and troubleshoot diagnostic communication with ECUs and vehicles
Independent Automotive Software Engineer
Automotive software expertise for your next vehicle project
I help automotive teams build, diagnose, test, and analyze vehicle software — from CAN and UDS to custom engineering tools
CAN & CAN-FD · UDS & OBD-II · Vehicle Data · CANoe & CAPL · Test Automation · Python & C++
When to reach out
Common problems I solve
- 01
CAN communication isn’t behaving as expected
- 02
An ECU diagnostic issue needs investigation
- 03
Vehicle measurements contain an issue that is difficult to isolate
- 04
ECU or vehicle testing requires too much manual work
- 05
An engineering workflow needs a custom tool or automation
Services
Focused automotive software engineering
Vehicle Networks
Integrate, analyze, and troubleshoot communication across automotive networks
Vehicle Data & Measurement Analysis
Turn large vehicle measurements and CAN recordings into actionable engineering findings
Testing & Validation
Automate vehicle and ECU testing and build practical validation workflows
Automotive Engineering Tools

Approach
Automotive domain knowledge + software implementation
Domain
Automotive Engineering
CAN · ECUs · Diagnostics · Vehicle measurements · Testing · Functional development
Understand → Build → Validate
Delivery
Software Engineering
Python · C++ · Automation · Data processing · Visualization · Engineering applications
Automotive problems often require more than software development alone. I combine vehicle-domain understanding with the ability to build the tools, automation, and analysis needed to solve them
Selected work
Example engineering projects
CAN / Measurement
CAN Log Investigation
Analyzed vehicle recordings to isolate intermittent events and automated detection across multiple measurement files
Diagnostics / UDS
Custom ECU Diagnostic Tool
Built a lightweight diagnostic application for ECU communication, DTC handling, diagnostic sessions, and live parameters
Testing / Validation
CAN Restbus Simulation
Created simulated network behavior so an ECU could be tested without the complete vehicle environment
Data / Automation
Automated Vehicle Measurement Analysis
Built an automated pipeline for event detection, signal analysis, plots, and engineering reports
Process
From technical problem to delivery
- 01
Understand
Share the problem, logs, DBCs, measurements, requirements, or technical context
- 02
Investigate
I analyze the system and determine the most practical engineering approach
- 03
Build
I develop the analysis, software, simulation, or automation required
- 04
Validate
The solution is tested against available data, ECUs, recordings, or your environment
- 05
Deliver
You receive the agreed code, engineering findings, documentation, and deliverables
About
Automotive engineer who builds software.
I work at the intersection of automotive systems and software, with professional experience in functional development, vehicle dynamics, diagnostics, measurement evaluation, and systems engineering
I specialize in problems where understanding the vehicle system is just as important as writing the software — whether that means investigating CAN communication, analyzing vehicle measurements, automating ECU testing, or building a custom engineering tool
