What I'm looking for

I seek a role where I can lead RAN/network optimization and strategy, apply data analytics to improve QoS, and drive resilient, customer-focused network improvements.

I am a results-driven telecommunications professional with strong experience in RAN, core and transport network strategy, optimization, and performance monitoring. I combine technical radio expertise with data analytics to improve network quality and customer experience.

Across roles at major operators and vendors, I led capacity planning, budget support, disaster recovery readiness, partner integrations, and large-scale drive test programmes while delivering actionable reports and KPIs. I implement data-driven automations and visualizations using Power BI, Tableau and Excel to streamline workflows and support senior decision-making.

I hold a BSc in Telecommunications Engineering and industry training in RAN and data visualization; I am committed to continuous improvement, operational resilience, and measurable network performance gains.
