+# Hejdå Autoliv!
+
+Today, March 15, 2024, I spent my last day in Autoliv. I went to the Vårgårda
+office to meet my colleagues from research and gave everyone thanks. In
+return I also got a lot of compliments. Oh and there's some depth estimation
+project where my input was appreciated.
+
+Thinking about it, my contract lasted for 1 year and 10 months. And I thought
+it would be nice to look back at the things I've done with the team.
+
+## Documentation Hub
+
+In the team, we generate our documentation using automated tools. Each
+programming language however has their own tooling around documentation. For
+example, we have mkdocs/Sphinx for Python, Dokka for kotlin, etc. Each project
+generates their documentation, then send its documentation to the 
+**Documentation Hub**.
+
+To make it easier for people to integrate their documentation to the hub,
+I created an Azure Pipeline Template to allow people add the process to their
+CI pipeline. The page for the **Documentation Hub** is actually public, but I 
+am not sure if I am allowed to share it. Though there's not much to get there
+as the private information and keys requires an Autoliv account.
+
+## Autoliv Connected Services Platform
+
+The Autoliv Connected Services Platform is a service that existed before I came
+in. However, it was more of a POC rather than a production ready system. After
+I came in, we came to a conclusion that we had to rework the system.
+
+Now that I'm leaving, the system is ready for production and its iOS 
+application is in Apple test flight. I won't go through the details but below 
+is a summary of the things I contributed to the system.
+
+*   Database Migrations, Proper Indexing and Constraints
+*   RESTful APIs
+*   Kotlin Multiplatform SDK for iOS/Android
+*   Android Demo Application
+*   Service Now and Azure AD Integration (OpenIDC)
+*   Pre-commit and CI Pipelines
+*   Full Unit and Integration Test Suite via Docker Compose
+*   Autoliv Security Approval
+*   Data Migration Script
+
+In the end, I am happy to see that everything is sorted out before I leave and
+that the application will be ready to go prime time.
+
+## E-Safe Pre-Study
+
+Electric powered mobility solutions has been gaining popularity. After coming
+to Autoliv, I had to work on a research project for Vinnova. The paper is
+available in the [Vinnova Publication] for more details.
+
+In the project, we got a lot of data from electric scooters with front facing
+cameras. My main contribution on the project are the computer vision outputs.
+This means working mostly on object detection, distance estimation, object
+tracking, and video stabilization. Below are some of the examples of the data
+we processed, as shown in the paper.

+
+## Motorcycle Airbags
+
+Autoliv has officially announced its [Motorcycle Airbags] and I was one of the
+person who is working on it. Specifically, I was working on the algorithm to
+detect when should we trigger the airbag. It was a lot of watching videos of
+motorcycles and dummies getting decimated in the crash track and processing
+time series data to make sure the kinematic data matches the video.

+
+## Thesis Projects
+
+I had also supported our thesis students who are working on LLMs and 
+transportation mode classification. Unfortunately, I did not stay long enough 
+to see their presentation. But I believe they are at the stage where they can 
+continue the work together with the members of the team. I hope they make a 
+good paper!
+
+## Next Chapters
+
+As I wait for my next assignment or next opportunity, I've been planning on
+working on the following things.
+
+*   Continue my courses on Explainable AI and Machine Learning for Predictive
+    Maintenance.
+*   Write an open source library for typed and composable handwritten SQL
+    in Python. Current planned name is alternative queries (altqq).
+*   Keep up with the latest advancements in LLMs. Thankfully I did work with a
+    chatbot company before and have the fundamentals to built my knowledge on.
