Experience

NOC Technician / Network Operations Center / July 2015 – December 2017

Top performer on day shift for 2017. I monitored the cellular network via an alarm panel. When an alarm came in I would need to interpret the alarm then log into the equipment the alarm came from to status and discover if the alarm was part of a Change Control or other maintenance then choose the best course of action to attempt repair. If remote repair was not possible I would then escalate the issue to the appropriate group or dispatch technicians. Some of the technologies I worked with were Juniper, Cisco, Lucent, Starrent, Motorola, Nortel. From the time the alarm presented in the Alarm Viewer to the point a ticket was created I averaged a response time of 3.5 Minutes with a 100% accuracy rating on all tickets created for over 2 years. I also was able to resolve 80% of the tickets I created from remote restoral, leaving the tickets behind to be viewed historically to help identify root causes of intermittent issues.
