What I'm looking for

I'm looking to contribute to core network, 5G, or data center engineering work where I can design, deploy, analyze, and optimize cloud-native telecom infrastructure while continuing to expand my technical expertise.

I've deployed and analyzed 5G core environments with free5GC at Djezzy and emulated EVPN/VXLAN data center fabrics during my Nokia internship. My master's thesis combines a Nokia spine-leaf IP data center fabric with a virtual 5G Standalone core testbed.

I build labs with Nokia SR Linux, Containerlab, Docker, Docker Compose, and free5GC, validating MP-BGP, EVPN, VXLAN, IP-VRF, network-function registration, UE registration, authentication, and PDU session establishment. I use Wireshark and Edgeshark to troubleshoot protocols and visualize traffic, and I enjoy designing, deploying, and optimizing modern cloud-native telecom infrastructure.
