Summary

With 7 years of experience in tower operations, I am currently a foreman leading a team of 2 to 6 individuals. Throughout my career, I consistently demonstrate efficiency and skill in managing various projects. My expertise includes sweeping and diagnosing RF systems.

Alongside a solid understanding of project management theory and application, I possess knowledge in radio access networks, backhaul to sites, signaling, disaster recovery planning and response, data services, and location-based services.
