Senior Telecommunications Analyst Expert in Microsoft Teams, SIP & TDM Trunks
Proven Leader in Complex IT & Telecom Solutions
As a Senior Telecommunications Analyst with nearly a decade of experience, I thrive at the intersection of technology and teamwork. My passion lies in solving complex telecom and IT challenges, from managing SIP and TDM trunks to supporting mission-critical environments for Microsoft Teams. I’m not just about fixing problems; I’m about creating solutions that drive business success and empower teams to excel.
My career has been built on a foundation of technical expertise combined with a natural ability to lead and mentor others. Whether it’s troubleshooting a high-stakes issue or coordinating cross-functional teams to resolve escalations, I bring a calm, solutions-focused mindset to every challenge. I’m also a firm believer in continuous learning—whether it’s staying ahead of pre-release products or exploring new ways to optimize system performance.
What sets me apart is my ability to turn technical complexity into actionable insights, all while building strong, collaborative relationships with colleagues and clients. I’ve successfully handled high-pressure, mission-critical situations, but I equally enjoy the day-to-day work of improving processes, enhancing product functionality, and sharing knowledge with others.
If you're looking for someone who can seamlessly bridge the gap between technology and people, let's connect. I’m always open to exploring new opportunities where I can contribute my expertise and passion for telecommunications and IT.
