Solutions Architect Resume

SUMMARY

I have covered a lot of ground in telecom industry with both vendors and service providers. I have been working in matrix organizations to design and build network management (OAM) and service assurance software to effectively operate and manage access, metro and transport networks.
As part of the digital transformation initiative at Confidential, I was involved in a multi - year OSS and BSS transformation project to restructure and rebuild the platforms to support CRM, supply chain management, billing, service requests, ticketing, service activation, automation, fault, performance, CMDB, BI reporting and SLA management.
My focus was on solution architectures for inventory (ETL), fault, performance, capacity planning and reporting tools to support the day to day activities in network operation and service management.
Over the years as a solution architect and systems engineer I have led projects in requirements gathering, systems design, software development, integration and testing to meet the latest standards in ITU and eTOM for network management.
In the design/coding review sessions I have always been an evangelist for observing coding standards to achieve superior scalability and performance in the final product.
