ALCATEL-LUCENT (contract), Plano, Texas

Performance Management/Business Analyst March 2013 – Feb 2015

Analyzed data for each site by using SQL queries, Excel statistical analysis and performance tools for optimization of Sprint Network NY markets. The goal of the project was to manage the planning, requirements changes, and parameter configurations during network upgrades and troubleshoot degradation of services. Benchmarking was established to assess system performance under various operating conditions.

Documented, analyzed and communicated Sprint network requirements to business development teams.

Reviewed business requirements and functional specifications to verify compliances with 3GPP standards.

Managed the planning, scheduling and tracking of field resources for new installations and degraded sites. The recommended solutions reduced the operation time with minimal impact on neighboring sites.
