• Developed and delivered 6 major projects (150days per project) as the first major building block of the Motion product (multi-million-dollar product) on NX platform. Provided product vision & direction, reviewing requirements, directing application engineers to write specifications and managing development of product deliverables to successfully close the release cycle of NX11
• Guided my Team/Project leads in estimating projects, splitting them into sprints and allocating appropriate resources.
• Design and develop a new auto test framework using PYTHON scripts
• Plan and work with quality teams to ensure product is of highest quality and satisfying the proposed requirements.
• Prepared bi-weekly reports on overall status and delivered to Director. Regularly review overflow in projects in regards to allocated time, negotiated scope and resources with Product management.
• Participated in Product definition workshops in Leuven (Belgium) and Milford (Cincinnati) and design workshops in Romania and Pune
• Primary challenges that were successfully met:
• Rethink Motion solution, taking gaps/issues observed while developing the legacy product
• Prioritize between legacy product and new product to deliver Driving Dynamics vertical
• Ensure the development team is aligned with the new vision and committed to it.
• Managed three teams (located in Americas, Romania and India). Two teams were led by “software engineering managers” reporting into me while I played the role of “Team lead” for the third team. Team composed of full time employees and contractors. Team size grew to 15 members.
• Supporting NX Motion on both windows and Linux platforms using C++ and C++11
• Prepare realistic, achievable, milestone plans of the projects to win customer business
• Participate in code reviews and pay close attention on architectural inconsistencies

• Participated in Product definition workshops in Leuven (Belgium) and Milford (Cincinnati)
• Guided the team in designing the SDK to launch LMS motion solver from NX UI. Leverage strengths of C++11 standards. Traveled to Shanghai to coach developers on SDK-API design and do code reviews
• Manage a new team in Romania. Negotiated training budget for them in the motion domain. Primary challenges:
• Led the development of initiating the Real Time Solver from the Pre/Post environment in VL: Understand the exact solver goals - complete solutions at real time speeds on high fidelity models
• Successfully improved customer responsiveness from under 70% to over 95%
• Successfully build and manage a team led by a Project Leader reporting into me
• Managing synergies with external partners - successful in integrating new upgrades/updates without any gaps in quality. Added development and maintenance of TWR software into the collection
• Took on responsibility of entire VL Motion Pre/Post maintenance and development in the rigid body area
• Kicked of development of Driving Dynamics Vertical. Primary responsibilities were defining specifications, architecting the product and connecting it with VL motion. Primary challenges:
• Use .NET (WPF/XAML) to build complex UI. Use MVVM pattern
• Understand the Automotive OEM market and their needs where scalability and time is critical
• Driving Dynamics demanded quick deliverables in a span of three months. Had to be quite Agile.
