Summary | I'm an expert on communication networks, especially IP networks, who has experience across the board from fixed to mobile, from core to edge. I've participated in research and development tasks including solution/device testing, network planning and implementation, network security, software design and standardization. I have also been involved in various kinds of VoIP applications, including contact centers, PBXes and SBCs as well as low-level workings of SIP protocol. Currently my focus is on service provider networks.
In addition I've had interest to computing ever since childhood, which has lead to widespread interest and experience among variety of systems, including administration tasks related to Windows, Linux, FreeBSD and Solaris operating systems and several ancilliary functions such as databases, storage and related scripting languages. |
