United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I am a results-driven telecom and network operations professional with extensive experience coordinating WAN and LAN deployments across public and private sectors. I specialize in vendor coordination, field technician support, and ensuring projects meet customer commit dates.
Throughout my career I have executed end-to-end network installations, managed service activations and disconnects, and tracked procurement and invoicing through SAP. I consistently delivered time-sensitive WAN installations on schedule and supported a broad range of connectivity technologies including broadband, satellite, fixed wireless, LTE, VoIP, T1, and fiber.
My technical background includes hands-on work with Cisco routers and switches, SD-WAN (Viptela), Meraki and Aruba wireless, as well as network monitoring tools like SolarWinds and testing tools such as JDSU. I have led device rollouts, trained team members, and maintained high availability across hundreds of retail locations and corporate sites.
I hold relevant certifications including CCNA and CompTIA A+, and I am motivated to apply my coordination, troubleshooting, and project execution skills to drive operational efficiency and strong client satisfaction in network-focused roles.
