@roysakai
I build reliable cloud infrastructure and carrier-grade telecom platforms at scale.
What I'm looking for
I've delivered carrier-grade device management platforms for Incognito Software Systems across Brazil and Latin America, including an AWS deployment for Claro Brasil supporting up to 4 million mesh devices. I migrated approximately 1 million devices with no downtime and built a geo-redundant MySQL ClusterSet architecture without service interruption.
I bring over 25 years of experience across fixed and mobile networks, Linux/Unix systems, cloud infrastructure, and automation. My work spans Terraform-based AWS provisioning, Ansible automation, high-availability databases, and telecom protocols including SIP, SS7, CAMEL, and VoLTE.
I've supported Tier-1 operators through live operations, critical incidents, migrations, upgrades, and large-scale deployments. I'm expanding further into DevOps and platform engineering through infrastructure as code and reliability-focused delivery.
