As a Principal Engineer on the Data Services Operations Tier 3 team I help maintains a nationwide cellular network that serves 110+ million subscribers. Serve as an escalation point to the various Data Services teams, including: Maintenance, Implementation, and Engineering. Required to work directly with multiple vendors to both troubleshoot their equipment and discuss how their products can better serve our network. On top of this we must work directly with these vendors to find and reconcile root causes of large impacting issues. Understand and take the lead on any outages, or other challenging network issues to identify and resolve the issue. Work directly with the other engineers in the DSO T3 group to identify flaws and organizational inefficiencies with both processes and network design/operation, collaborating to build scripts or other best practices to ensure these get addressed.Vendor Equipment• Cisco routers and switches. ASR5x00, ASR1k, ASR9k, CRS, Nexus.• Juniper routers, switches and firewalls. MX-960, EX8216, SRX3600.’• F5 load balancers, firewalls. BIG-IP, AFM, LTM.• Linux/Redhat.• Other Vendors equipment: Nortel MTXs, Alcatel/Lucent ECP/OMP, 5E, and SMSCs, Tekelec and Alcatel STPs.PythonDeveloped multiple python scripts that automated network configuration issues. These range from auditing network equipment and writing the corrective scripts, to quickly troubleshooting network impacts and providing back valuable troubleshooting data.

Daily responsibilities include troubleshooting service impacting issues reported by end users. This includes BGP issues, IPSEC/GRE issues, and other routing issues, along with troubleshooting my responsibilities would include any break fix network configuration changes, compliance changes, and device testing after changes have been completed. Responsibilities also include working with the NOC and addressing any alarms on MPN owned network elements. As the overnight technician I create a nightly report with failover information for EXGWs, this includes date and time of last failover, current active/standby status and failover statistics. The MPN maintenance group is still a new group, and I continue to work on process improvements to speed up and automate any reports and procedures.

Continuing to develop less tenured technicians, while embracing more of a leadership role within the department. I also continue to gain experience as a network troubleshooter, troubleshooting service impairments in a multitude of problem areas, including working with Enterprise customer solutions such as MPN (Mobile Private Network). As I continue to strive to gain knowledge I am perusing my CCNP certification.

I am a hard working, knowledgeable network technician with 2+ years’ experience in wireless telecommunications troubleshooting and resolving service impairments in MMS, SMS, 911, call translations, ss7, and system performance related troubles.

Troubleshot and resolved service affecting problem using: translations, SS7, and SMS. Also diagnosed service disruptions in system performance including: roaming, signal, dropped calls, noise and audio related issues.
