Microsoft Connected Vehicle Platform (MCVP)
Shipped the first release of a platform that processes millions of automobile telemetry and events across multiple datacenters using Azure IoT Hub and Azure Service Fabric, deployed to production supporting thousands of cars at Renault Nissan and Volkswagen Auto Group.
Wrote the VirtualCar and Simulation modules that provide a test harness for stress testing the platform at scale and to provide a "bring your own car and TCUs via a simple JSON object" framework for onboarding customers onto the platform rapidly, enabling developers to debug solutions on their own hardware in minutes without a physical head unit or car.
