Summary

System Execution Strategy and Integration Leader | Wireless, Embedded SW, SoC, RF, GenAI | TPM Scope | Qualcomm & Ericsson Veteran | Driving Product Delivery Across AI and Connectivity Systems | Open to New Opportunities

Im a System Execution & Integration Leader with 25+ years of experience delivering 500+ wireless features across 4G, 5G SA, IoT, NTN, and embedded AI systems.

At Qualcomm and Ericsson, I led $50M+ global programs and launched 10+ modem-RF SoC platforms for Apple, Samsung, and Tier-1 OEMscontributing to the industrys first 4G call on Verizon and first 5G SA call on T-Mobile.

My core strength is execution. I lead validation, integration, and feature readiness from early silicon through global commercializationbridging engineering, QA, RF, and customer teams. Ive integrated AI/ML workflows to accelerate system testing, observability, and performance tuning.

Key Highlights:
95% test automation 50% faster validation cycles
100+ engineers led across U.S., India, and China
Delivered Mobile, FWA, CV2X, IoT, NTN systems on Sub-6GHz/mmWave
Built lab infrastructure with Keysight, R&S, Anritsu.
Resilient delivery lead for CSM6700: owned all I&T, field, and performance testing with just a 2-person team
Fought for headcount, debug support, and lab expansion while motivating engineers to complete power and performance analysis across Snapdragon chipset generations

I specialize in turning cross-functional complexity into delivery certainty, translating 3GPP standards into commercial solutions, optimizing system performance with AI, and scaling embedded platforms across global product lines.

Now focused on roles such as System Integration Lead, Wireless Product Delivery Manager, or Technical Program Manager (execution-focused) where execution drives innovation:
AI validation frameworks
5G/6G system leadership
Embedded AI/ML product delivery

If your team is building connected, intelligent systems and needs hands-on leadership to get them shippedlets connect.

Expectations

ImpactExecution-first environment where delivering real systems and results is valued more than politics or process.

Hands-on, system-level ownership staying close to engineering, validation, and integration decisions, not just status tracking.

Technical respect where 25+ years of experience in SoC, modem, embedded SW, and 5G system delivery is seen as a strength, not a limitation.

Hybrid or remote-friendly work with clear accountability, collaborative teams, and meaningful deliverables.

Growth into AI-enhanced systems contributing to teams applying AI/ML in validation, observability, or embedded product delivery.

A stable, principled team culture where leadership is about mentoring, aligning stakeholders, and driving product readiness with integrity.
