Experience

   Jan 2014 — Present · Bothell, WA, US

   In this role I am tasked with the early investigation and analysis of new technologies, market developments and proof of concepts to determine and recommend strategic positioning, technical enablement feasibility and overall architectural compatibility. These initiatives consist of a broad range of topics such as core network and radio access technologies, service enablement, evaluation of LPWA, LTE-M and NB-IoT to the development of FirstNet functionality for IoT devices. Currently investigating 5G impacts to charging systems and how the business unit may monetize features such as network slicing. Recent accomplishments include a number of adopted solution designs for large automotive OEMs and the migration of over 23 million subscribers from the legacy ATT enterprise self-enablement platform to the enhanced ATT Control Center platform. These proposals and their subsequent development have resulted in multi-million-dollar gains and increased sales and profits.
