Applied AI · Telecom networks · Delivery

I build systems that turn complex data into decisions that pay back.

30+ years across operators, vendors and consultancies, from RF engineering on live 5G networks to owning a regional services P&L. Today I build hands-on with AI agents, and I measure what they produce.

Everything I've built

Each build names the problem, what I made, and where the money is: revenue won, cost avoided, time saved or risk reduced. Prototypes are called prototypes.

Results from the field

Customer names and internal figures stay confidential. Numbers are rounded or given as ranges.

A 40-site pilot that became a national programme

I secured the first APAC contract for Huawei's RF planning services, opening a new revenue stream for that portfolio in the region. Separately, I led a 40-site optimisation pilot for an operator, then turned its results into the business case for a national programme.

ResultA national services programme estimated at over $2M. Throughput in the pilot cluster was reported internally as up by more than a fifth, and the customer deferred an estimated few hundred thousand dollars of capacity spend.

Holding a four-party OSS/BSS transformation together

I directed a team of about 40 across architecture, software, integration, testing and operating-model change, and chaired the biweekly steering between the operator and three technology vendors. My job was to turn ambiguity into owners, interfaces, risks and decisions.

Running RF engineering on a greenfield cloud-native 5G network

I led RF engineering across about 1,100 live 5G standalone O-RAN sites, ran migrations totalling 532 sites, and managed a team of five engineers. I turned KPI, alarm and field evidence into prioritised fixes and executive decisions, and built an AI-assisted assurance workflow (Sheldon) on my own initiative.

Owning a regional services P&L

I owned services delivery and the P&L across Asia-Pacific: about 60 projects worth tens of millions of dollars, with a regional organisation supporting several hundred engineers across planning, optimisation and modernisation.

Turning customer needs into priced, winnable proposals

I drove go-to-market for B2B telecom and AI-enabled services across the U.S. and Canada, and secured pilots with two Tier-1 carriers. I turned customer requirements for private wireless, DAS, E911 and network-performance work into scope, acceptance criteria, proposals and statements of work.

About

I started in RF engineering and moved through operator, vendor and consulting roles in North America, Europe, Africa and Asia-Pacific. Along the way I ran delivery, sold and scoped work, and owned a P&L.

Since 2025 I've been building hands-on with AI: agents, RAG, MCP tools and evaluation. I'm also the founder of Calivect, a managed job-search service built by AI agents under my direction. I care about measuring what AI produces, not just demoing it.
