Summary
Nicolai Tufar is a seasoned project manager with 20 years in software and embedded systems, currently leading delivery-focused programs at EPAM Systems from Odesa. He has a strong automotive software pedigree from Luxoft, where he managed cross‑location teams for VW and Toyota infotainment and map-update systems, coordinating multiple OEMs and suppliers to turn around troubled features and deliver on time. Hands-on early in his career as an embedded and systems developer (Linux, QNX, C++, ARM) he brings deep technical empathy to release and error management processes. Known for improving planning, communication, and cross-team workshops, he reliably converts complex integration challenges into shipped products. An under-the-radar strength is his experience bridging low-level kernel/device work and high-level program management—useful when coordinating software, hardware, and OEM stakeholders.
