Tech Mahindra is responsible for deploying and integrating thousands of routers in H3G’s (Three Mobile) 5G network. After the successful integration of the routers, they are handed over to the H3G’s operation team for maintenance. For operations to accept the integration of a router, it has to pass several criteria, such as the operational status of the router/interface/BGP/ISIS/NTP/PTP, standard design principles, naming convention, and documentation etc. When I joined the project only a bit… Show more Tech Mahindra is responsible for deploying and integrating thousands of routers in H3G’s (Three Mobile) 5G network. After the successful integration of the routers, they are handed over to the H3G’s operation team for maintenance. For operations to accept the integration of a router, it has to pass several criteria, such as the operational status of the router/interface/BGP/ISIS/NTP/PTP, standard design principles, naming convention, and documentation etc. When I joined the project only a bit more than half of the routers were accepted by operations at first attempt. The Tech Mahindra project management team wanted to increase that value to 80%.● Successfully created a Python script that increased the first attempt success ratio to 83%, surpassing the goal of 80% set by the project management team.● The Python script logged into the routers, extracted the data, then processed the data and checked if any of the configuration or operational status of the routers were incorrect.● This improved the capacity and workload management of the network engineering team as the scriptautomatically identified the problems (if any) and the network engineering team did not need to manually check the router’s configuration and operations status of its functionalities.H3G UK (Three Mobile) is expanding their 5G network but lacks visibility of the capacity and performance of its multi-vendor Core/Transport/Access Networks. For that task it was selected Cisco WAE tool. I have:● Implemented, designed and operated Cisco WAE system.● Built Capacity and Performance Reports for Core/Transport/Access Networks.● Identified network bottlenecks and issues and advised H3G UK how to solve them.● Simulated different scenarios of network growth and failures in the network to predict where networksneed expansions.

During my tenure as IP & Security Engineer for Capacity Management I orchestrated capacity upgrades for all transport networks, analysing network performance, requesting new hardware, and managing connection expansion. I created high-level, low-level designs, and led design on user connectivity requirements, from configuring new VRFs in MPLS, connecting with new partner using routing protocols (BGP, OSPF), installing new switch/router/firewall, opening firewall policies and ACL, as well as… Show more During my tenure as IP & Security Engineer for Capacity Management I orchestrated capacity upgrades for all transport networks, analysing network performance, requesting new hardware, and managing connection expansion. I created high-level, low-level designs, and led design on user connectivity requirements, from configuring new VRFs in MPLS, connecting with new partner using routing protocols (BGP, OSPF), installing new switch/router/firewall, opening firewall policies and ACL, as well as establishing IPSEC tunnel. Some key achievements in this role include: • Spearheaded expansion of BGP connection to new/existing ISP and PNI in network including Netflix, Google, Vodafone Transit, AMX-IS, and ICSS. These ISPs and PNIs were responsible for 100% of all T-Mobile Internet traffic.• Managed design for migration of firewalls function from one firewall to another, as well as design addition of firewall rule.• Designed multiple solutions including greenfield Layer 2 datacentre, installation of new Routers in MPLS network and datacentres, core router datacentre movement to new location, as well as IP network for POC of TCP Optimization from F5 Big IP.• Managed connection of T-Mobile IP network with IP network of biggest company in the Netherlands in relation to SIM cards.• Managed, administered, and optimised £1M+ budgets for equipment installation and expansion.• Involved in the POC of introduction of GPON in T-Mobile network Show less
