NigeriaWhat I'm looking for
I’m a Network Engineer focused on designing, implementing, and maintaining robust, scalable, and resilient network infrastructures. I’ve built expertise around DWDM/OTN and carrier-grade IP technologies, delivering high-capacity connectivity and reliable operations for submarine-linked services.
In recent roles, I’ve overseen operation and maintenance of Submarine Power Feed Equipment (PFE) at the cable landing station (CLS), provided Level 3 network support, and ensured continuous, reliable power supply. I’ve also led deployments like a highly redundant IP/MPLS and DWDM PoP, configured segmentation and routing protocols (Static routes, OSPF, BGP), and resolved complex escalations using OTDR and Ethernet Analyzer.
