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 via 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 across lattice/monopole/guyed stacks, crane and helicopter lifts, 46 states, all-weather field experience
- Carrier Networks: all generations of AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile, and Sprint including EMS critical infrastructure
- Instrumentation: inventor of a dual-wavelength, colourblind-friendly duplex visual fiber tester (US 12,031,880) giving instant visual confirmation of polarity and signal power
- Spectral Imaging: multispectral/hyperspectral calibration, UV thru X-ray, scientific and medical imaging systems
