Previous position Lead Technology Consultant, BT Super-Fast Broadband (Next Generation
Access, NGA) & Disaster Recovery Specialist
Openreach NGA Technical Services (Part of BT Group)
I left BT at the end of September 2015 and currently available for work
Driving License Full, Clean
Dates: December 2006 until September 2015
Lead Technology Consultant within the Strategic Engineering Solutions Team, part of the
Openreach Chief Engineers Office, which is responsible for technical trials and developing
strategies for our access network and exploiting the opportunities created by technological
developments. My role was to project manage (both from a technical and PM perspective) very
large and complex projects on time and to budget. Within this role, I developed and managed the
installation of the first Automated Main Distribution Frame (AMDF) within BT, followed by
working within a matrix team to further develop the AMDF within the 21CN Network. This
involved E2E testing, working closely with BT Design, vendors and other international Telco’s.
Further to the AMDF role, I took up work on Openreach’s Test & Diagnostic platform (still within the Chief
Engineers Office). This included the very successful Risky Starts project, which collated data from various
sources and identified the probability of copper lines being Healthy or Unhealthy on a Customer Provision Order.
This work involved working closely with the research scientists in BT Innovate & Design and testing algorithms
to determine the status of the copper lines. I presented this work at the finals of the British Computer Society. I
have also worked on a Test & Diagnostics proposal for ISDN30, Line Test Standards for BT field engineers using
Hand Held Testers and I was the interface between the Chief Engineers Office and BT Innovate & Design’s
research scientists.
As of October 2009, at the conception of BT’s Super-Fast Broadband rollout (Next Generation
Access, NGA), I was asked to manage this network and work alongside the NGA vendors
(currently Huawei & ECI) and also work closely with BT Innovate & Design on the introduction
and implementation of all new technology & functionality.
I designed, built and maintained the Openreach Disaster Recovery solution for NGA. I also worked closely with
Business Continuity, Security, Capacity Management and give day to day technical assistance to various
individuals. This work covered the cycle of E2E testing of both new software and hardware, via the Network
Integration Labs in Adastral Park, (BT’s Research area in Ipswich) system faulting and analysis & network
upgrades on the FTTC, FTTP & FVA (Voice) network.
I also carried out various testing on the exchange based equipment and street based cabinets, both of
which contained the active electronics to allow the NGA network to function.
I am recognised as a technical expert on the NGA network and have worked on technical support
functions throughout my career in BT.
My success on this work has been highly praised by various senior managers across BT Design, BT
Operate and Openreach.
