Cesar Castañeda
@cesarcastaeda
Telecommunications Engineer with expertise in satellite network operations.
What I'm looking for
I am a Telecommunications Engineer with extensive experience in teleport operations and satellite network monitoring. My career has been defined by my ability to optimize technical processes and automate reporting tasks using tools like Dataminer, PRTG, and Grafana. I thrive in high-criticality environments, ensuring service continuity and efficient incident resolution.
At Speedcast Peru, I continuously monitor earth station equipment and analyze satellite KPIs, focusing on signal strength, latency, and availability. My role involves automating daily logs through Python scripting and managing incidents using the ServiceNow platform. I have practical experience with iDirect Evolution and Newtec Dialog systems, which has equipped me with the skills to support critical infrastructure effectively.
Previously, I worked as a Satellite Research Assistant at the Pedro Paulet Aerospace Research Institute, where I processed telemetry and analyzed antenna performance. My freelance experience as a CCTV and Network Installer further honed my skills in network optimization and configuration. I am committed to continuous learning, currently pursuing certifications in Google Data Analytics and AWS Cloud Fundamentals.
