Hey there, I’m Pete
I’m an engineer that loves to learn new things and grow teams.
I’ve got a decade plus in the embedded and automated driving / ADAS space, working on real-time software in C++ and Rust.
Most recently I guide the efforts at Woven by Toyota to expand the ability to use the Rust programming language everywhere on vehicle that it’s currently possible to use the C and C++ programming languages. Put concretely, this takes the shape of understanding relevant standards such as ISO 26262 and working to fill gaps between here-and-now and higher levels of safety-criticality: ASIL B+.
Feel free to check out my contributions!
Or my resume!
