Gained expertise in RFDS site design, plumbing diagrams, RF propagation analysis, and regulatory compliance, including zoning filings and SAS processes. Supported the integration of CBRS/n48-n71 and private LTE networks in the Samsung Platform, developing FIT and Lab Test plans to validate CBRS integration and optimize the network using Samsung USM.

Designed and optimized RF systems, including site design using RFDS, creation of plumbing diagrams, and analysis of RF propagation to enhance network performance and reliability. Performed integration, commissioning, provisioning, and troubleshooting of Small Cell and eNodeB systems in 4G/5G networks.

Designed and optimized RF solutions using RF propagation tools like Atoll and TEMS Discovery, ensuring coverage and capacity requirements were met while analysing performance metrics such as RSSI, RSRP, RSRQ, SINR, and throughput. Developed and reviewed detailed RF Design Sheets (RFDS), plumbing diagrams, and site technical layouts to support network deployment and integration.

Led RF design and optimization tasks for the T-Mobile ESD L1900/L2100 macro and micro cell integration process, including Ericsson site build support, CIQ scripting, and LTE parameter scrubbing for UMTS, GSM, and LTE configurations. Designed and reviewed RFDS, plumbing diagrams, and site-specific RF configurations to implement T-Mobile configurations.

Designed and deployed 800 MHZ Motorola Project 25 radios LMR systems for MARTA railroad communications in Atlanta, with the specifications for 12.5-kilohertz FDMA equipment and studied interoperate with multiple vendors’ radios in conventional or trunked mode. Performed RF coverage analysis, link budget calculations, and interference assessments.

Monitored and analysed the performance of newly integrated LTE 800 and LTE 2.5 + 2CA sites using tools such as SNAP, AGOOP, Root Metrics, NPO, and RF Cockpit; conducted troubleshooting with SAMB, WPS, and Windcatcher. Designed and optimized DAS systems using ATOLL, ROOFVIEW, ROOFMASTER, and performed site visits and surveys to identify and evaluate DAS host, small cell, and node locations.

Planned and optimized LMR wireless communication infrastructure, including site selection, coverage prediction, interference analysis, and frequency reuse for the 220 MHz Positive Train Control (PTC) in the city of New York. Assisted the LMR/LTE vendors with LTE product development tailored to their needs, tested and troubleshoot the system for in-building coverage using 24 radios at several locat

Completed a Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering, gaining foundational knowledge in electrical systems and telecommunications. The curriculum covered core engineering principles relevant to network design and optimization.
