At a Tier 1 Solution Provider, I delivered end-to-end cloud-native transformation solutions for telecom core networks. This included 5G Standalone Packet Core and Unified Data Management, designed to meet 3GPP standards and country-specific regulations.

At Nokia Networks, I developed pre-sales system integration proposals and delivered NFV applications for IMS and virtualized EPC. The solutions used platforms including VMware and OpenStack.

Earlier, at Alcatel Telecom, I worked on mobile core network products, including call-server enhancements and RANAP features for 3G networks. I also co-authored a patent in the area of IoT and M2M.
