I build agentic AI platforms that make complex telecom network data usable through LLM-powered tools.
South AfricaWhat I'm looking for
At Digitata Networks, I build production MCP-powered platforms that turn complex telecom operational data into AI-accessible tools.
I design and ship MCP servers for RAN, Core, Transmission, and IP network data, along with the backend, database, frontend, authentication, deployment, and repeatable Docker builds needed for enterprise rollout.
Since 2018, I’ve helped build and maintain a SaaS platform for telecom network configuration, performance, and asset management across multiple countries, processing millions of operational records each day. I work on the practical challenges of MCP at scale, including messy OpenAPI specifications, auth passthrough, observability, and LLM-friendly tool design.
My 14+ years span telecom, fintech, and enterprise delivery, including front-end systems at Stanchion Payment Solutions and full-stack applications at Bytes Universal Systems. I build with Java, Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, PostgreSQL, Vue.js, Mithril.JS, Docker, Linux, Nginx, and n8n.
