Ken at Jaguar Land Rover

Connected Car Integration Engineer

Over the last four years I’ve seen the development of the automotive industry change beyond all recognition. And I’ve seen how much I’ve developed too. The shift from the internal combustion engine to vehicles that are autonomous, connected, electrified and shared is incredible. I’m currently juggling five different projects that are all focussed on how we connect to cars anywhere in the world. And how we are helping cars learn autonomous behaviour.

It’s so exciting! 5G technology, streams of data and advanced cloud and server based platforms are allowing me to help our cars adapt in the moment to drive efficiency for the customer. Whether that’s predicting when a car needs to warm the seats or start up, or when an engine needs to change performance to match the conditions it’s driving in. Not to mention how we update battery range or infotainment systems in the blink of an eye.

I chose Jaguar Land Rover because it’s a Great British Brand and I came here because I wanted to write code. I didn’t expect to travel the world, work with prototypes, meet great people and constantly learn and develop. I really didn’t expect to love the cars as much as I do! And I certainly didn’t expect to see the opportunities for progression that I see today.
