I am a Network Architect for Carrier Networks in the EMEA region at Corning, where I work with leading telecommunications operators to design and deploy efficient optical networks. With over a decade of experience in FTTP and last-mile deployments, and a particular focus on test and diagnostics and optical connectivity for both brownfield and greenfield FTTP and MDU, I am now shifting focus to DC and DCI networks for long-haul, metro, and data center connectivity, helping customers address the challenges of network scalability, capacity growth, and AI-driven traffic demands.
