Babak Karimi, Phd Email & Phone Number

I was passionate about figuring out how different tools work inside and how they are designed and built from childhood. I used to disassemble electrical gears to understand their structure and design. On my first encounters with computers, I imagined myself creating a game by designing a soccer field. This led me to a career in computer engineering, learning how computer networks work, how the data is being transmitted all over the internet, and security hacking concepts. Additionally, pursued international certification from Microsoft and Cisco. I continued and received my Ph.D. in the networking world.I came to the states to start researching more sophisticated networking application subjects such as mobile and wireless networking and their application in the specific fields including national electric grid / Smart Grids. Through my studies, I designed a resilient communication architecture using wireless technologies and developed efficient algorithms to handle the data in such a distributed network. I made several conference and journal article publications and could graduate successfully with the highest possible degree. Working at Autodesk I worked on remarkably diverse projects and technologies. From Cisco, Juniper, and Arista platforms to the most industry trend public cloud platforms such as Amazon AWS and Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud. To name a few of the recent important projects I can mention the leading of the migration away from sites with MPLS legacy WAN connectivity to newer desired SD-WAN architecture as well as leading and deploying Next Generation Wi-Fi 6e and modern AI-driven wireless solutions for companies' bay area headquarter campuses.Not only do I have an advanced degree in computer networking and information technology management, but I also have extensive industry work experience in the San Francisco bay area lead companies. I have gained valuable skills including dealing with clients, problem-solving, using professional tools, working effectively in a team, and working independently. I believe the combination of my academic and scholarly endeavors coupled with my industry-level work experience makes me an ideal candidate for any IT-related position in high-tech companies. I relentlessly strive to become the best version of myself with a dash of creativity and taking up challenges on my way and staying grounded to my heart. That is why I always choose excellence over success!
