IoT Connectivity Specialist leveraging network analytics to keep devices reliably connected worldwide.
NigeriaWhat I'm looking for
I’m an IoT Connectivity Specialist with years of experience specializing in installing, operating, and maintaining electrical, instrument, and telecommunication systems—now focused on keeping IoT and M2M connections stable across global mobile networks. I remotely managed and optimized IoT SIM connectivity, monitored M2M performance, and resolved latency or packet loss by using network management tools and configuration expertise (APN profiles, PDP contexts, and GSM parameters).
I’m known for strong leadership and problem-solving, especially when troubleshooting HLR/VLR, PLMN, and routing issues to improve uptime and device reachability. At Tramigo, I supported IoT device integration with Tramigo Cloud to optimize SIM lifecycle management and subscription accuracy, delivering remote diagnostics and technical support for detachment, network switching failures, and connectivity drops. Previously, I operated within a 2/7 Network Operations Centre using RMS/NOC tools (PRTG, EMS, Cacti), led incident management, and improved escalation efficiency and uptime through root-cause analysis and actionable SLA reporting.
