03 · SOFT SKILLS
Three years on Tier-1 automotive programs meant daily work across time zones, strict process, and hard-to-find bugs. These are the habits that made that work.
I explain complex, low-level issues clearly — in writing and verbally — to both engineers and non-technical stakeholders. From a telecom support desk to reviewing firmware interfaces, making the hard thing understandable is a habit.
Collaborated daily with distributed engineering teams across Japan, Mexico, and the USA, with English as the working language — coordinating interfaces, integration, and reviews across boundaries and time zones.
I trace bugs to root cause instead of guessing — reading registers, following signals on the wire, and reasoning about timing. A systems thinker: I consider how components interact, not just each in isolation.
Comfortable under ASPICE discipline with full requirements-to-test traceability. Careful with timing windows, safe-state sequencing, and the small details that decide whether safety-critical firmware is correct.
I treat tools, code, and process as things to refine, not just use — and I ramp fast onto new platforms and toolchains. I'm honest about what I know versus what I'm still learning.
English — fluent (professional working language for 3 years).
Arabic — native.
