Competency

Competence is a combination of knowledge and experience. Computer Science also includes the desire for continuous learning.

Competence = Knowledge * Experience

My professional life was shaped by several years of experience at Tier 1 Automotive Supplier. However, my knowledge covers a broad spectrum of knowledge and can be applied in various industries.

In addition to hardware-related programming, I have a substantial knowledge in other computer science disciplines - a decisive prerequisite to be able to take over a complete ECU development with a relatively small team.

 

Among my competences I count especially:

  • Embedded Software from the first Assembler line up to produktion
  • System understanding of safety-related applications up to ASIL D / SIL3
  • IT security in embedded systems
  • Building agile and efficient SW development team
  • HW understanding and reading of schematics including logical debugging
  • µC configuration for autonomous and synchronous control of peripheral devices
  • Conception of development and project infrastructure
  • Strong focus on feasibility of proposed concepts
  • Rapid exposure to new technologies, understanding of financial, process and infrastructural influences and developing solutions for efficient applications
  • Leadership through excellent technical overview and broad practical experience with high implementation skills

 

And there is one more side of competence that cannot be rated by the formally testable technical knowledge. It is recognition of similar structural elements in different technologies and error-avoiding complexity-reducing development.

 

The knowledge is „pyramidal“

I remember hearing the phrase on youtube. The basic knowledge or fundamentals are at the top of a pyramid. And mastery or easily extendable and learnable skills are the base of the pyramid. The wider the opening angle or knowledge spectrum at the top of the pyramid, the larger base area or knowledge the pyramid covers. And the higher the level of abstraction or pyramid height, the equally larger base area or knowledge the pyramid covers.

If someone has a widely spread knowledge and great wealth of experience, it means that he does not have all the knowledge necessary but already has a lot of it and can teach the missing skills to himself. And the value is the diversity of subjects that can be consolidated and orchestrated by one person.
