Having you in the project was an absolute blessing in terms of project success. Your FSM know-how combined with SYS and SW expertise is one of a kind. You bring an expertise and professional working attitude in combination with your winning, humble and friendly persona that is unique.
Working with you was always a pleasure. You took and drove fully independently tasks over the last years and made the topics invisible, because no one had to take care of. Your analysis was a kind of a benchmark since I am working in the automotive area.Michael MerkProject Functional Safety ManagerContinental AG
