Alex Paval is a CEO and embedded systems leader with 13 years of experience steering product development and delivery across automotive and IoT domains. He has deep hands-on expertise in BMS, EV, ADAS, AUTOSAR and non-AUTOSAR stacks, ISO 26262/21434 compliance, and low-level drivers on platforms like Infineon AURIX, combined with Qt tooling in C++ and Python. As founder of Nokto, he built Romania’s only marketplace for embedded engineers, scaled a 300+ freelancer network, and established ISO 9001/27001 and TISAX-certified processes for end-to-end hardware, software and production. Alex blends technical delivery (from MCAL and FBL to HSM integration) with product leadership, having coordinated multi-team releases at Stellantis and led BMS programs at Hella with zero turnover through strong coaching. He’s equally comfortable in sprint-based and V-cycle environments and is known for turning complex safety and cybersecurity requirements into practical, low-overhead processes that accelerate productization.
