Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolFaheem Sheikh is a software architect with over a decade of experience building safety-critical embedded and automotive systems, now leading architecture at BMW Group. He brings deep expertise in ASIL development, microkernels and hypervisors (L4, Fuchsia), ARM/x86 virtualization, and hardware bring-up including bootloaders and device drivers. His background spans digital signal processing and high-performance computing, with hands-on work fixing tricky DSP library bugs and sanitizer-reported memory issues in the widely used liquid-dsp project. Faheem pairs rigorous academic training (PhD in Computer Engineering) with practical product delivery across global teams at Mentor Graphics, FireEye, and consultancy roles. He is as comfortable designing system-level safety architectures as he is writing micro-benchmarks and unit tests to validate them. Based in Ulm, Germany, he blends research-grade problem solving with production-hardened software craft.
