  • Feb 2007 - Jun 2020

  Harman offer products and consultancy services spanning clouds, connected devices, and analytics. My work for Harman has covered alot of ground in terms of business domains - in the last 6 years I've led teams working on projects ranging from an innovative medical device at a start-up, via automation of 4G test equipment, to IVI systems for Fortune 100 clients. I'm currently focused on automotive, particularly on the use of embedded Linux platforms to satisfy ever increasing demands for connectivity, and to deliver increasingly sophisticated forms of user experience. The perspective that considers vehicles to be platforms for service delivery is of increasing interest to OEM's, and the technologies for doing this are a particular topic of interest at the moment.
