I look after product, design and sales, and build FleetWise with my co-founder and CTO, Badiru Sulaimon.

• Next.js
• NestJS
• PostgreSQL
• Nx monorepo
• Vercel
• LLMs

• Built from the ground up as a modular SaaS platform: TypeScript, React and Next.js on the front end; NestJS, Prisma and PostgreSQL behind it.
• Shaped the data model and workflows around problems I spent a decade living with.
• Backed by Antler; exhibited at GATE EXPO 2025 in Kuala Lumpur.

Led the introduction of Bentley's first Driver Monitoring Camera and Driver Monitoring function, from the first conversations in VW Group and with suppliers through to production.

Accountable for integration, calibration, project management and sign-off of camera-based driver assistance systems across the entire product line and multiple platform architectures, spanning hardware and software features.

• Forward-Looking Camera
• Driver Monitoring Camera
• Traffic Sign Recognition
• Attention & Drowsiness Assist

• Represented the team, department and Bentley in Volkswagen Group and supplier forums, guiding outcomes in Bentley's favour.
• Built a bi-weekly knowledge-sharing relationship with Lamborghini colleagues, giving Bentley-Lamborghini a louder voice in group forums.
• Liaised daily across Concepts, Electrical, Packaging, Diagnostics, Manufacturing, Quality, Purchasing, Finance, Sales & Marketing and Legal.

Sole owner of a Level 3 system: detailed requirements writing, traceability to Level 2, managing requirements in DOORS and cascading them to Level 4 sub-systems. After an IBM requirements-writing course, management used my requirements deck as the department example and asked me to run review sessions for other system owners.

• DOORS
• MBSE
• Functional Safety
• LabVIEW
• TestStand
• HIL

• Part of the Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) pilot: use case, activity, functional allocation, architecture, sequence, flow, boundary and state machine diagrams.
• Translated customer experience specifications into logical systems, then mapped them onto the electrical vehicle architecture with the architects.
• Produced Functional Safety and Technical Conformity documentation; liaised with suppliers and every implementing sub-system.
• Built hardware-in-the-loop test rigs for camera systems in LabVIEW and TestStand, with automated image intensity checks, network simulation and generated test reports.

Warwick University

Collected and analysed road footage to define what autonomous vehicles would need to handle (sensor capability, traffic scenarios, junction types), feeding a future feature proposal and the UK Autodrive event.

Hands-on testing and evaluation of advanced driver assistance systems on development vehicles.

Lead LabVIEW engineer on several projects, building control, monitoring and data acquisition systems, and installing instrumentation (thermocouples, accelerometers, tachos) to log temperature, vibration and speed.
