Profile
Twenty-one years of boots-on-tower RF field engineering across 46 US states. 1,000+ tower ascents spanning installation, commissioning, and PIM analysis for every major United States carrier. Stacked many lattice, monopole, and guyed towers — crane and helicopter lifts. Full signal path expertise from fiber splice thru microwave alignment to L&A. Two awarded patents — including the Panaluxe DVT, a fiber polarity and loss diagnostic tool. Parallel career in high-precision spectral imaging UV thru X-ray.
Core Competencies
- RF Systems: LTE/5G/legacy cellular, DAS, PIM testing, spectrum analysis, microwave backhaul across all major spectrum bands
- Fiber & Optical: fusion splicing SM/MM, OTDR, sweep and cable certification, full transmission line QA
- Tower Operations: OSHA-compliant climb and rigging, lattice/monopole/guyed stack work — crane and helicopter lifts, 46 states, all weather, seriously
- Carrier Networks: AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile, Sprint — all generations, EMS critical infrastructure
- Instrumentation: inventor of duplex visual fiber tester (US 12,031,880) — dual-wavelength, colourblind-friendly, instant visual confirmation of polarity & signal power
- Spectral Imaging: multispectral/hyperspectral calibration, UV thru X-ray, scientific and medical imaging systems
