I lead major incident response and reliability improvements for mission-critical technology services.
What I'm looking for
I've led major incident response and service reliability work at Ericsson and RWE Renewables, turning high-pressure operational signals into clearer restoration paths, customer communication, and lasting service improvements.
At Ericsson, I coordinated distributed teams of up to 70 people through business-critical customer incidents across cloud, infrastructure, OSS, and multi-vendor environments. I resolved 37 telco crisis incidents and improved critical resolution efficiency by 30% through structured investigation, escalation routing, bridge leadership, and stakeholder alignment.
I reduce repeat failures by turning postmortems, RCA findings, and service trends into runbooks, knowledge articles, automation ideas, release inputs, and reliability roadmaps. My work reduced repeated critical incidents by 32%, repetitive incident flows by 25%, and troubleshooting time by 25%.
At RWE Renewables, I improved global ISP OT/IT service processes, automated Airtable-ServiceNow backlog visibility, and built KPI logic that cut steering-decision analysis time by 50%. I bring hands-on experience with ITSM, Linux/Bash, SQL, monitoring, cloud infrastructure, and customer-facing incident command in 24x7 operations.
