Build and maintain AAA infrastructure (FreeRADIUS backed by Percona MySQL cluster) supporting thousands of concurrent subscribers
Implement core services: DNS, NTP, syslog, DHCP, IPAM
Database & Data Systems
Deploy and optimize time-series databases (TimescaleDB, InfluxDB) for network metrics at scale
Design data pipelines that feed AI/ML models for network automation
Implement backup, replication, and disaster recovery strategies
Design unified data architectures that bridge physical infrastructure (fiber, devices, PoPs), logical network state (IP allocations, routing, VLANs), and operational telemetry into coherent, queryable systems
Build data pipelines that correlate network events with billing and SLA compensation workflows
