PROFILE

Telecommunications professional with significant experience in network design, test plan development and test execution. Expertise with large scale Cisco Voice over IP solutions and PSTN SS7 technology for next generation telecommunications networks. Proficiency with Cisco Routers/Switches. Easily adapts to work projects focused on new and different technologies. Ability to understand customer business needs and translate them into technical objectives that demonstrate customer value.

PROFESSIONAL BACKGROUND

Design IP networks, implement IP architecture in creating a scalable IP network infrastructure. Author various IP network designs for regional markets and backbone networks. Configure, troubleshoot thousands of IP network nodes on Cisco routers/switches. Manage total effort to launch and maintain new market designs. Conduct testing and implement configurations on Cisco routers and switches 26xx, 35xx, 49xx, 65xx, 76xx .

• Worked with the design and deployment of the Comcast Regional and National TCP/IP network.
• Participated in the review of network catastrophic failures and provided feedback to prevent future occurrences.
• Authored various IP network design documents for Comcast IP Services on Cisco routers and switches.
• Involved on the design, testing and implementation of Comcast s IP network and ISP backbone.
• Designed a reliable and fully redundant network implementing various routing protocols RIP, OSPF, BGP, EIGRP .
• Provided managerial as well as leadership role in implementing tier four ISP technical operation team.

• Perform design deployability risk assessment and create mitigation strategies for complex, high profile, big-ticket Voice over IP VoIP customer engagements. Analysis includes: software level interoperability; anticipated network performance levels; engineering deployment risks. Verify design implementation in a lab environment and interact directly with the customer in identifying design issues and required design changes. Define the scope of Cisco s engagement for the customer network design.
• As Technical Lead directed a team of 5 engineers in performing a comprehensive design analysis for a large Brazilian and Mexican carrier. Proposed the architecture and design of Cisco s wholesale dial and wholesale voice solution VoIP . Provided technical expertise in implementing and deploying Cisco VoIP solution at Telmex and, Telemar networks.
• Co-authored various customer network design guidelines for Cisco Systems customized network solutions. The Design and Engineering Guide provides account managers and sales engineers with generic guidelines for designing VoIP based customer networks.
• Improved Cisco s ThunderDial and ThunderVoice solutions by identifying performance and interoperability issues in the lab and proposing corrective action.
• Provided managerial as well as technical leadership in implementing Cisco s VoIP solutions in customer s network.
• Coordinated pre-sales technical implementations and marketing support demonstrations, field-trials and, deployments for Cisco s VoIP solutions.

Conducted integration testing on ET-CORDEC s Next Generation Network products with Cisco voice gateways i.e. a VoIP virtual switch . Testing for Videotron Canadian cable company VoIP project included:

• Interoperability testing of the virtual switch against the Lucent 5ESS and Nortel DMS-100 PSTN . Verified that the virtual switch performs, externally, like an existing PSTN switch implementation.
• Fault insertion testing on the virtual switch, verifying that it can recover from specific failure modes.
• Voice quality testing on the virtual switch.
• Configured and created new call control scripts using the Ameritec telephony load box.
• Coordinated SS7 network integrity testing for the Alliance for Telecommunications Industry Solutions ATIS , an industry-working group. This testing involved the creation of large industry testbeds where SS7 failure scenarios could be created and studied. Developed hands on experience troubleshooting problems in MTP, SCCP, ISUP, and TCAP layers. Clients included: AT&T, BellSouth, Verizon, CTIA, Sprint, MCI.
• Developed LNP/AIN 0.1 Test Plans. Analyzed data collected during testing of LNP/AIN overload/congestion tests.
• Performed interoperability testing of a Signaling Transfer Point STP quad configuration using High Speed Links for an RBOC client.
• Executed and analyzed AIN interoperability test cases between the 5ESS and DMS100 switches for toll and local services.
• Troubleshooting SGCP VoIP solution using SGCP message traces.

Perform testing on software and hardware products. Develop test plans.
