I am an Infrastructure Solutions Architect with 20 years of experience in designing & deploying highly robust, service-aware & quality centric Backhaul, Backbone & Data Center Network technology solutions for large scale multinational Telecom Service Providers. I have extensive experience working with industry-leading Telco OEMs like Huawei, Cisco, and ZTE.
Through the years, I have spearheaded the technological evolution of Service Provider’s Network Infrastructure to support evolution of cellular services from 2G (GSM) to 3G (UMTS) to 4G (LTE) 3GPP standard.
I am highly skilled at designing Huawei SDN based Cloud Data Center Networks to host ETSI NFV compliant Virtual Network Functions (VNF). I am equally capable of designing Infrastructure solutions for hosting Azure and AWS public cloud services.

Through the years, I have spearheaded the technological evolution of Service Provider’s Network Infrastructure to support evolution of cellular services from 2G (GSM) to 3G (UMTS) to 4G (LTE) 3GPP standard.
I am highly skilled at designing Huawei SDN based Cloud Data Center Networks to host ETSI NFV compliant Virtual Network Functions (VNF). I am equally capable of designing Infrastructure solutions for hosting Azure and AWS public cloud services.
