I am a Senior Wireless Core & IT Network Specialist with 17+ years of experience across 3G/4G/5G packet core, policy control, and cloud-native infrastructures. I design, deploy, and optimize core networks in multi-vendor environments (Huawei, Nokia, Ericsson, Cisco), with a focus on 5G SA/NSA core, VoLTE/VoNR, QoS, network slicing, and policy management. I lead cross-functional teams, drive CI/CD automation, and manage large-scale wireless transformations ($500M+). I excel in agile delivery, risk management, and building resilient architectures using OpenShift, Kubernetes, NFV, and cloud platforms, while mentoring 40+ engineers.
