I like to serve as an example to others.

I have been with AT&T for more than 33 years, supporting OSS architecture work. I have been working with AT&T 5G Network Architects, Vendors, and external communities to define Management Architecture for 5G network including slicing for more than two years.  I actively participated with X-RAN and contributed in defining O-RAN network and management architecture.  I continue to actively participate in various O-RAN working groups, defining management and RIC (RAN Intelligent Controller) architecture.

I was the lead architect of AT&T ECOMP and have been active participation in ONAP architecture and use-case subcommittee. I worked with community members proposed 5G use in Beijing release and continue to lead that group.

I would like to coordinate and lead 5G work within ONAP by actively working with external communities such as O-RAN, 3GPP, and other committees with ONAP (Modeling, Security, etc.)
