As a Technical Project Manager, I collaborate closely with global Research and Development (R&D) teams to oversee and innovate state-of-the-art PON Networks. With a background as a certified Scrum Master and embedded software engineer, my primary focus is on managing and coaching R&D teams to achieve excellence. Currently, I lead internal projects at Nokia to ensure timely delivery of new and existing products, meeting specified timelines, scope, and market quality standards. Skills: • Project Management and coordination of state-of-the-art development PON Networks • Scrum Master/ Agile Methodologies • PON Expert
In my role as a Technical Project Manager, I oversee and coordinate the software development and testing life cycles for releases on Nokia fiber products. It is my responsibility to coach and guide the Software and Test leads on internal processes and development life cycles while facilitating interactions and managing dependencies between diverse teams. I collaborate closely with the Quality team to ensure both excellence and timely deliveries.
As the Scrum Master for an agile team consisting of five developers and two testers, I also serve as the Tech Lead and Software Prime for the 25GS-PON MSA technology. My primary responsibilities include leading the introduction, maintenance, and productization of the 25GS-PON technology.
Having worked in the optical fiber department, during my years of contribution, I primarily focused on the development of OLTs within the ISAM 7360 platform family. My emphasis has been on the continuous advancement of fiber technologies, particularly in the development of the Dynamic Bandwidth Allocation (DBA) algorithm and MAC layer for NGPON2, XGS, and 25GS-PON standards. As part of my role, I actively participated in the life cycle of new products, contributing to architectural decisions for the Quilion chip, designed by Nokia RnD. Additionally, I played a significant role as a contributor to Cooperative DBA/CTI (Cooperative Transport Interface), a prototype facilitating integration between the PON and Mobile (4G) domains. This work was executed in a development environment adhering to Agile and DevOps methodologies, employing continuous delivery and continuous test integration practices.
Worked with VoIP protocols applied to GPON, AE and VDSL technology . My role, consisted in provide solutions for new features and support the existing ones, in SIP, H.248 and MGCP. During this period I have worked with subscriber lines provided by softswitch from MetaSwitch and Genband; The development was made in Linux with C/C+, and delivered into optical network equipment.
Embedded software developer acting in embedded modules for fiber switches and routers, both at L2 and GPON. Open software, Linux device drivers develpment, embedded system debug, full embedded system integration and development, cross-compiling. Developer of the following solutions: * Rogue Detection on GPON medium with destructive process and periodical background process; * OMCI ME maintenance for OLT - ONT management and information exchange; * ISIS protocol and DHCP Relay on router and switch from the LightDrive Family; * Integration of OSPF and RIP on ONT580 for GPON Family;
In this project, I conducted a feasibility study for an antenna system intended for deployment on the CosmoGal satellite. The work was organized into three main stages: 1. Algorithm Development: Created an algorithm to generate three-dimensional models of various corrugated horn antenna profiles. 2. CST Simulation Testing: Tested the antennas using CST simulations to identify profiles best suited for the intended application. 3. Optimization and Implementation Plan: Selected the most promising models and proceeded to optimize them, proposing a comprehensive implementation plan. This effort culminated in the completion of my Master's in Science thesis titled "Corrugated Horns for the CosmoGal Satellite."
In partnership with Refer, software was developed to predict GSM-R power losses in railways. It employs a sophisticated system of variables that enables the use of the Okumura-Hata model with all its corrective factors. The software reads common file types such as DTM, DSM, Clutter, Buildings, and railways in WGS84 (GPS). It allows users to interact with a graphical interface, facilitating site management with a simple click. As output, it displays power levels for all sites and the Best Server along the railway in both graphical and ©Google Earth formats. Developed in collaboration with ReferTelecom, the public railway operator in Portugal.
