Learning has no limits

Your instructor

With a deep-rooted passion for telecommunications that spans over four decades, I've dedicated my career to not only staying at the forefront of mobile technology advancements but also to empowering others through education. My journey began at Ameritech in technical support, eventually leading to a role at Bell Communications Research (Bellcore), a crucible of telecom innovation where I was first immersed in the intricacies of SS7 signaling. This experience solidified my keen interest in the signaling protocols that are the backbone of mobile communication.

Now, as the Head of Training & Development at Cellusys, I meld my technical expertise with a fervent educational drive. Teaching has been an avenue where I can share the insights gained from my time at Bellcore, which transitioned into Telcordia Technologies, and beyond. Crafting and delivering courses in SS7 and Intelligent Networking while managing training programs, I continue to guide professionals and students alike through the complex but thrilling world of mobile generations and signaling. My goal is to ignite a similar enthusiasm for telecommunications in my students, equipping them with the knowledge to excel in a dynamic and constantly evolving industry.
