Wireless engineering director at Charter Communications who deployed 5G core networks on virtualized platforms.

At Charter Communications, I led engineers responsible for testing, integrating, and certifying 5G core networks. I designed and built end-to-end core testing labs that mimicked production-scale environments for wireless core, Wi-Fi, and 5G testing.

I developed end-to-end core networks on VMware and Red Hat OpenShift. I also contributed to an automation framework using machine learning and AI, with Node.js, Java, Python, REST, JSON, and MongoDB for test-case generation and analytics.

At TimeWarnerCable, I played a major role in developing and deploying the public Wi-Fi and hotspot solution, including AAA server policies and algorithms for authentication, accounting, and roaming. Earlier, I developed LTE core network solutions at LightSquared, developed and certified WiMAX core networks at Clearwire, and designed and tested IP core networks and platforms at 3Com Corporation/ UTStarcom Inc.
