  • Automation: Collaborate with the team to analyze operational events to identify new automation opportunities and achieve our goals of all Tier-1 faults in the network being fully remediated by software. Help others understand our requirements and drive their roadmaps, and in some cases, directly implement lightweight solutions in code
  • Data Measurement: Drive quality into the metrics we report, measuring and analyzing escalation issues, fault/event trends, infrastructure capacity, and vendor performance failures. Formulate appropriate metrics and definitions of success to drive quality, efficiency, cost, and timeliness, evolving these over time to match changes to the infrastructure and business requirements
