Telecom Systems Engineer &
Independent Builder.
Telecommunications Systems Engineer with 7+ years in high-availability telecom infrastructure—bridging network operations and backend engineering through self-directed R&D, automation tooling, and modern full-stack development.
About the
Architect
terminal
I am a Telecommunications Systems Engineer with over 7 years sustaining mission-critical network infrastructure for US-based MVNOs—owning L2–L3 incident response, complex mobile network deployments, and strict SLA compliance across high-traffic environments. My core drive, however, sits at the intersection of network resilience and software engineering.
I close the gap between operations and development by building real tools: automated network KPI monitoring in PHP and MariaDB, infrastructure-as-code fleet management with Ansible, and container-native CI/CD pipelines with Docker—treating my personal lab as a production-grade environment.
Beyond my primary role, I maintain a structured R&D practice—integrating LLM APIs into operational workflows, engineering AI-assisted automation for compliance and efficiency, and building data-driven web applications across the modern full-stack. Photography runs alongside all of it, keeping my eye for composition, hierarchy, and intent sharp.
The Skillset
Laravel & PHP
Backend engineering with Laravel, Livewire, and PHP—building APIs, internal dashboards, automated monitoring tools, and reporting pipelines that operational teams rely on daily.
DevOps & CI/CD
Infrastructure-as-code fleet management with Ansible across multi-node Linux environments, containerised workloads with Docker, and automated CI/CD pipelines—engineered to production standards on personal hardware.
Frontend
Reactive interfaces with Alpine.js, Livewire, and jQuery. Emphasis on responsive data-heavy UIs, clean component architecture, and optimised MariaDB query patterns for operational dashboards.
AI & Automation
Actively integrating LLM APIs into production-adjacent workflows—building AI-assisted automation tools with strict data-privacy controls, and engineering intelligent pipelines that reduce manual overhead and surface operational insights.
Telecom Ops
7+ years sustaining mission-critical MVNO infrastructure: owning L2–L3 incident response under live SLAs, managing complex mobile network deployments, and developing internal tooling that directly reduces mean time to resolution.
Engineering Lab
IdleIdol
A full-stack booking dashboard built with Laravel, Alpine.js, and MariaDB. Manages film stocks, shoot scheduling, and print archiving—built to production standards with optimized SQL queries and a clean operator UI.
Anemoia
A Laravel-powered film journal with CDN-accelerated image delivery via Gumlet—built for performance, atmosphere, and long-form visual storytelling across analog photography and travel.
The Journal
A structured writing log covering technical deep-dives, operational retrospectives, and engineering philosophy—where telecom-grade troubleshooting thinking meets software craft.
