Summary
I am a Network Operations Engineer with a career foundation built in high-scale carrier infrastructure, starting as a Network Support Engineer at Globe Telecom. This background in service-provider environments instilled in me a "macro-level" understanding of network scalability and the discipline required for mission-critical troubleshooting.
Currently, I lead the end-to-end lifecycle of enterprise network operations—expertly balancing complex project deployments with the day-to-day rigor of incident, task, and change management. I specialize in bridging the gap between carrier-grade reliability and modern, software-defined automation, ensuring 24/7 stability for high-compliance environments where uptime is non-negotiable.
