Achievements:• Led the team that in 6 months improved the Dropped Call Rate (DCR) from >3% to <1% in AT&T’s small cell network, an improvement that ultimately resulted in AT&T deploying over 2 million devices, the worlds largest residential small cell deployment.• Managed the migration of ip.access Access Gateway and Network Orchestration System from ATCA chassis to Virtual Machines reducing the cost to deploy an ip.access small cell network from > £150,000 to < £20,000 (for a minimal system).• Project managed new teams brought in with the opening of ip.access’ Indian development centre in Pune.• Managed the Access Point projects to increase number of concurrent small cell users from 8 to 16 and from 16 to 24 – including the design, manufacture and test of up-scaled automated test systems. These products were based on Intel’s PC333 SoC.• Managed the Access Point projects to introduce HSPA+, increasing downlink data rates from 14.4 to 21 Mbps.• Project managed the development project to port ip.access’ 3G small cell firmware to Qualcomm FSM9208 SoC – this project included transfer of designs and manufacturing test systems to WNC (Taiwan) for low cost manufacture.• Identified the need for, invented, developed, deployed and maintained systems to provide automated data collection, analysis and reporting for development projects, sales reporting, customer response time reporting (SLA). These systems are initiated by the windows task scheduler on a Windows Virtual Machine, gather datasets from company databases (Redmine, CRM, TestLink) sort and filter the data (perfomed in MS Excel, using VBA) and publish and email Powerpoint reports on a daily, weekly or monthly basis, as required.• Managed Benetel (3rd party supplier) to the delivery of hardware for the E40 Access Point, ip.access’ first LTE product.• Managed Bitwise (3rd Party supplier) to the delivery of the first version of the “Manufacturing Test Station” for ip.access’ 3G small cell access points

Joined the Professional Services group to provide management of a customer-specific technology transfer, trials and deployment projects involving ip.access’ 3G small-cell technology.Achievements:• Successfully managed the transfer of small-cell technology into AT&T via Cisco (the system integrator), resulting in the deployment of more than 2 million residential small cells.

Managed, motivated and led cross-functional teams to deliver customer-specific development projects, evaluation kits, reference design kits, and technology demonstrations for exhibitions - all based on Artimi’s A150 Ultra Wide Band chipset and software. Visited potential customers in Asia to build relationships and gain a direct understanding of their needs.

Performed market research and analysis of competitive products and companies in a niche telecommunications market sector. Prepared and delivered project proposals and bids for product developments with budgets ranging from £100,000 to £500,000.Achievements:• Created pricing model for new products to maximise revenues while maintaining a strong value proposition to clients.• Identified target markets and clients, highlighting top ten potential clients by value and alignment with existing and proposed product lines.

Successfully managed cross-functional teams to deliver four design projects. Two in-house projects and two further projects delivered managing Agilent Technology teams while on temporary assignment. All four projects provided telecoms equipment or telecoms test equipment products.

Primary responsibilities: Managed, motivated and led teams of design engineers which specified, designed, developed and performed customer acceptance of a variety of electronics systems and board level designs. These designs included instruments to test PDH and SDH/SONET network equipment.Primary design techniques:Designed microprocessor based systems incorporating FPGA designs (VHDL), LCDs, low-power battery management systems, and complex ASSPs. Modelled and optimised complex analog circuits including waveform measurement designs, jitter measurement designs and peak detection circuits using both Microsoft Excel and Mathcad to accurately predict circuit and system behaviour.

Various Positions leading to Senior Development EngineerPrimary responsibilities:Designed and developed hardware, software and custom test equipment for airborne radar systems. Responsible for design, development and delivery of six Radar Transmitter/ Receiver units to the Finnish Frontier Guard for maritime patrol aircraft.Primary design techniques:Analogue, digital, and microwave circuit design, development and test; software design using embedded C , C++ and assembly code.
