Projects
From startups to standards bodies, some examples of things I've built and contributed to.
FreedomFi
Co-founded the company that brought CBRS and Wi-Fi to the Helium network. Built open-source small cell infrastructure that bridged traditional telecom with blockchain-based incentive models. Acquired by Nova Labs in 2022.
Helium Network: Wi-Fi Offload at Scale
As VP of Network Architecture, building the decentralized wireless infrastructure: software, hardware, blockchain-based telecom accounting. Built a Wi-Fi offload network that went from 0 to over 3.5 million daily users in 18 months. Leading work with WBA to reshape how carrier offload works with tier-1 US carriers.
Helium Mobile MVNO
Led the launch of the Helium Mobile MVNO from day one. Negotiated the original T-Mobile wholesale contract. Planned and led the technical team building the entire MVNO backend: customer management platform, SIM/eSIM provisioning, inventory management, fraud analysis and prevention, cost optimization, and regulatory compliance. Led integration with the T-Mobile wholesale telco core including a novel roaming architecture for CBRS.
VoiceMail App
An iOS app born from a real need. My dad is losing his eyesight, and every available voice-reader email app has a terrible UX. Building something he can actually use. Also a deliberate move to stay hands-on with AI coding tools, because the best way to understand them is to build something real.
CableLabs Research
Foundational contributions to the wireless and cable industries: vRAN architecture, LTE/5G over DOCSIS, LTE/WiFi coexistence studies, FEC study for DOCSIS 3.1, CoDel active queue management. Published research and granted 45+ patents during this period.
Standards Contributions
Active contributor and delegate across 3GPP, Wi-Fi Alliance, Wireless Broadband Alliance (WBA), Telecom Infra Project (TIP), O-RAN Alliance, and DOCSIS/SCTE. Held leadership roles in WBA and other industry groups. Currently leading a years-long WBA project to instrument Wi-Fi networks with quality metrics.
