Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolPayam Katoozian is an early-career software engineer specializing in C++ and Python for OTA updates and embedded systems, currently at Mercedes‑Benz R&D North America. He combines hands‑on work with AUTOSAR Adaptive and QNX on performance‑critical production code with Python-based HiL and vehicle test automation, and drove a delta update integration that cut wireless data transmission by 70% while doubling update speed. His background spans ADAS defect analysis at Tesla and systems-level prototyping (including an RTSP PoC for parked‑car surveillance), giving him a strong product‑facing sensibility beyond pure implementation. Payam is growing into product ownership and seeks an L3-equivalent SWE role at a startup or mid-size company where he can deepen system design, C++ best practices, and long-term code stewardship.
