Tembici Bike Sharing System
Tembici needed a scalable and resilient solution to operate a large fleet of shared bikes in diverse urban environments. The system had to withstand harsh weather conditions, support real-time connectivity, and provide a seamless user experience — while being energy efficient and easy to maintain.
The project had a strict deadline of 18 months, requiring rapid prototyping, iterative validation, and fast deployment across multiple regions. As a result, the new platform helped reduce CAPEX by 30% and increase bike availability by 50%, enabling more efficient and sustainable operations at scale.

Key Contributions
Led and managed the hardware, embedded systems, mechanical, and product development teams, overseeing both New Product Introduction (NPI) and continuous improvement efforts.
Defined the system architecture and orchestrated the CAN communication strategy between embedded modules, including the display, IoT unit, and smart lock integrated into the bike.
Managed the development process using a hybrid of Agile and Waterfall methodologies, ensuring fast iterations within a structured product roadmap and strict deadlines.
Coordinated cross-functional teams to align firmware, hardware, and mechanical development efforts with backend and mobile integration.
Oversaw mass production, regulatory certification, and field validation across multiple countries.
Ensured the system supported OTA updates, remote diagnostics, and real-time telemetry for large-scale fleet operations.
