Network Provisioning Engineer at Liberty Networks designing customer services on core infrastructure for high availability.
What I'm looking for
At Liberty Networks, I lead the design and implementation of customer network services on core infrastructure, aligning solutions with business needs and high-availability requirements. I also maintain design documentation and configuration details for the core database.
Previously, as a Transmission Engineer at Liberty Networks, I managed and optimized metropolitan and international networks across 12+ countries. I developed and monitored KPIs with Power BI and Tableau, and used optical power data to inform link optimization.
Earlier, I supported connectivity projects at Liberty Networks, including MPLS, DIA, and Metro-E services. My work covered implementation, integration, testing, documentation, and troubleshooting.
Across telecommunications projects, I’ve worked on optical transport, fiber networks, and mobile network deployments. I’m currently pursuing a Master’s in Telecommunication Engineering at UOC, focusing on optical and software-defined transport systems.
