Experience

VP, Network Architecture

Leading the team building software and hardware for decentralized telecom infrastructure. Integral in launching the Helium Mobile MVNO: negotiated the original T-Mobile contract, planned and led the build of MVNO backend systems, and led integration with the T-Mobile wholesale telco core.

• ▸ Built Wi-Fi offload network from 0 to 3.5M+ daily users in 18 months
• ▸ Led MVNO backend build: customer management, SIM/eSIM provisioning, inventory, fraud detection, cost optimization, regulatory compliance
• ▸ Leading WBA project to reshape carrier offload with tier-1 US carriers
• ▸ Building AI-friendly MCP interfaces for AI-driven network analysis
• ▸ 5 new patent applications filed on blockchain-telecom convergence

Co-Founder & CTO

Co-founded the company that brought CBRS and Wi-Fi to the Helium network via open-source private cellular infrastructure. Acquired by Nova Labs in 2022.

• ▸ Built the company from concept to acquisition
• ▸ Developed open-source CBRS small cell platform
• ▸ Bridged traditional telecom with blockchain-based incentive models
• ▸ Led technical strategy and product development

Distinguished Technologist & Director of 3GPP Standardization

Published researcher and standards body leader. Drove innovation in vRAN, CoMP, LTE/WiFi coexistence, and DOCSIS network optimization. Led standardization work across 3GPP, WFA, WBA, TIP, O-RAN, and DOCSIS/SCTE.

• ▸ Granted 45+ U.S. patents during tenure
• ▸ Published research on vRAN, CoMP over DOCSIS, CoDel AQM, WiFi coexistence
• ▸ Led 3GPP standardization delegation
• ▸ Active contributor and leadership roles in WBA, WFA, TIP, O-RAN Alliance
• ▸ Held various positions, culminating in Distinguished Technologist & Director of 3GPP Standardization

Network Architect

Built an all-IP linear video + VOD cable TV-like service provider. Led set-top box HW/SW development (chip selection with Broadcom, ODM negotiation, integration, and deployment). Full video headend from satellite feeds through encoding, ABR packaging, and Wi-Fi-based IP set-top boxes with QoS.

• ▸ Led set-top box development from chip selection to deployment
• ▸ Built full video headend: satellite feeds → encoding → ABR packaging → delivery
• ▸ Designed Wi-Fi-based IP set-top boxes with QoS for reliable in-home delivery

MSEE
