Oakville, Ontario, Canada
I am a Senior Wireless Telecommunications Engineer with 18 years of experience in 4G LTE and 5G NR networks, specializing in RF design, spectrum planning, RAN optimization, feature introduction, and standards governance. I drive results through RF predictive analysis, customized link budget modeling, and parameter optimization, consistently translating complex network challenges into actionable, data-driven decisions. I have led the development of RF design guidelines, KPI frameworks, and Golden Parameter Lists (GPL), improving consistency, scalability, and cross-functional execution. I am proficient with Atoll, Pathloss, Huawei iMaster MAE (ENM, PRS), Ericsson ENM, ENIQ NetAn, MapInfo, QGIS, and Alteryx. I combine analytical rigor with practical execution to turn technical challenges into actionable outcomes. With a background as an instructor, I value structured processes, genuine collaboration, and continuous learning to strengthen team performance.
• Led feature introduction lifecycle (lab validation, field trials, early-phase performance analysis and production rollout), enabling technology readiness for Ericsson features including NR Flexible Channel Bandwidth and Data and DMRS Multiplexing, preserving service for thousands of subscribers and increasing downlink speed capability up to 8% across the network. • Tested the Advanced Downlink MIMO Mid-Band features with RAN vendor (Ericsson) collaboration, identifying User Equipment (UE) capability limitations affecting thousands of in-service devices as escalated to the UE vendor for remedy action. • Enhanced transmit power guidelines by integrating 5G standards per channel bandwidth; built calculators for cross-vendor (Huawei/Ericsson) 4G alignment and 4G/5G split-mode, streamlining workflows for engineers across multiple engineering teams. • Updated Ericsson 5G Quality of Install (QoI) standards using link budget analysis, defining RF acceptance thresholds for network-wide deployments. • Maintained RAN KPI definitions documents, used by the engineers of RAN Optimization and National Wireless Standards as reference for the RAN performance assessment dashboards. • Developed and delivered presentation on link budget concepts, uplink vs. downlink imbalance, and its impact on QoI design and service footprint, improving team understanding of design rationale. • Produced a design guideline document for antenna tilt (mechanical and digital) tilt for Ericsson AAS (Advanced Antenna System) by processing drive test/waypoint data, used as reference by RF Engineering. • Maintained the RAN Golden Parameter Lists (GPL) to reflect new software releases, new RAN features, and performance-driven parameter changes, leading to network-wide standardization and improved performance. • Initiated the consolidation of multiple GPL files into a single standardized structure aligned with vendor practices, improving consistency and efficiency of the RAN parameter audits.
• Implemented configuration changes (frequency, tilt, azimuth, Tx P, PCI/RSI planning, neighbor lists, mobility parameters) based on RAN/User KPI analysis (RRC-connected users, cell availability, throughput, MCS distribution, PRB utilization, UL Interference, abnormal drops, BLER, RSRP/SINR, latency, customer care call volume) improving customer experience and NPS. • Trained RAN Optimization engineers on generating high-quality Change Request (CR) documents, standardizing structure to improve clarity for implementation, review and tracking of changes across the extended network team. • Tested the Carrier Aggregation (CA) feature for 3 or 4 carriers in the Huawei 4G network as a pilot project in New Brunswick.
• Co-developed a spectrum management master spreadsheet by province, ISED’s Tier-4 Service Area, platform, frequency block, and migration phase, used as reference for RF Engineering’s spectrum harvesting planning and large-scale technology migrations.
