SUMMARY

A Professional Electronics & Communications Engineer (in Philippines) with years of experience in Network

Administration, Commissioning, Integration, and Optimization of various mobile telecommunication projects. I involved

on big projects in LTE (4G), UMTS (3G), GSM/GPRS/EDGE (2G) PS Core network deployments and expansions with

major telco companies in both local and abroad.

A PS Core Network is an Internet Service Provider (ISP)-like in mobile communication we have today. It consists of two

major functions: The Radio part and the Bearer/Backbone part. The Radio is the one who manage the mobility function of

the network, giving a connection wirelessly to a mobile phone/equipment and take care the seamless handoff when mobile

moves from one geographical area to another. While the Bearer part is the physical network interface (IP based) that

provides connections to mobile phone/equipment to services like the Internet, VOIP, E-mail/Multimedia (SMS/MMS),

Billing, Network Management, and other customized IP Based services. The PS Core Network comprises of the following

Network Elements and Devices; For Radio part: MME/SGSN, Node-B, DNS, L2/L3 Switching/Routing Devices and Fiber

Transmission facilities for physical interfaces between MME/SGSN and Node-Bs. And the Bearer part: Serving

Gateway/PDN Gateway, L2/L3 Switching/Routing Devices, DNS, Firewalls, Load Balancer, Charging and Network

Management servers.

I'm fast learner, resourceful, attention to details. I'm always eager to learn new things and concepts to improve or develop

my works. I can stand longer to work on problems finding immediate solution or workaround. Able to work calmly on

under pressure situations. I can work with less to no supervision, but team effort goals and achievements always gives me

excitements and inspiration.

My Specialties: Network/System Administration, Commissioning, Integration and Optimization of Nokia Packet Core

Networks. End-to-End design and troubleshooting of Cisco Networking on LAN and WAN environments. Proficient in

System Administration of various Operating System environments and Server Applications from Microsoft, Apple, HP,

UNIX and well-known Linux OS distributions. I'm a PC and Technology enthusiast.
