Driving the deployment, testing, and migration of the production networks that power Meta's global applications and massive GenAI superclusters. The execution arm of the Edge and Network Services Team.

• Writing and executing training programs for the ENS-DC-DS team which halved onboarding time for new hires from 4 months to 2.
• Composed and managed a centralized network infrastructure knowledge base for a 24x7x365 deployment team, standardizing engineering workflows and drastically reducing project delivery errors.
• Designed and coded Python dashboards and operational workflows that expanded Zero Touch Provisioning (ZTP) automation for hyperscale AI network devices, significantly accelerating deployment dates and reducing communication delays.
• Manage a 14-member engineering team responsible for the end-to-end provisioning, rack turn-ups, and circuit audits of hyperscale AI NSF fabrics.

End-to-end turn-up of BGP peering links to service providers.

• Pilot Provisioner on TPR optical devices for GenAI and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, ensuring timely delivery of high-priority circuits/cross-connects with P0 service providers.
• Led capacity-add projects from start to finish at Meta's Edge POPs. Skills in colocation, BOMs, SOWs, and RFEs.
• CIP rollouts of automation workflows such as peering_activate_interface and peering_bgp_peer_removal, significantly reducing manual CLI work and saving 8–10 hours per week of engineer time on peering circuit provisioning.

Technical analysis and proposal of industrial automation systems.

• Engineered, wrote, and presented multi-line industrial and municipal project bids for competitive instrumentation projects.
• Led client engagements to identify engineering solutions, resulting in a 20% increase in project bids within 12 months through increasingly technical presentations.

Troubleshot, repaired, tested, and calibrated analog and digital controls.

• Interacted with clients' engineering, scientific, and technical personnel from laboratory organizations and industries to recommend equipment, regulatory, and upgrade opportunities ensuring systems meet compliance requirements.

• Hands-on infrastructure troubleshoot and implementation of Wi-Fi access points, routers, LANs, WANs, VoIP, firewalls, access lists, cabling, and XGS-GPON.

• Reviewed, analyzed, and updated complex metro regional fiber optic schematic drawings.
• Sized, placed, identified, spliced, and tested copper and fiber optic cables.

• Performed on-site analysis and repair of data, video, telephony, and security systems.
• Trained co-workers on RF digital signal meters and advanced troubleshooting techniques.

• Maintained and repaired RCN's 19-town outside-plant footprint 24x7; troubleshot signal delivery problems headend to plant.
• Read design and as-built blueprints of company infrastructure and submitted changes.

• Installed, maintained, and repaired Cable Modem Termination Systems for RCN Metro-Boston.
• Coordinated with headend, outside plant techs, and end users to establish problem areas and methods to correct signal issues and bandwidth upgrades.
