I have been working at Bosch on solutions for the Internet of Things in application domains like smart home, energy management, e-mobility, and automotive long before the term reached its recent popularity and ubiquity. I am an active member of the Eclipse community and serve as lead of two Eclipse IoT projects while contributing to others. When speaking at conferences, my focus is on scalable device connectivity and general software architecture. Recently, I have joined the Software Defined Vehicle space and started discovering the automotive way of doing things (differently).
