What was actually delivered.

Eight pieces of work inside live operators — firsts, greenfield programmes and modernisations. The wording keeps the role as it was; the depth is in each engagement write-up.

    Derby — Europe's first triple-play provisioning platform

    Key technical contributor to the delivery of Europe's first triple-play provisioning platform.

    Architectural significance

    Three fundamentally different service types fulfilled through one platform — where the lesson that a service must be defined before three networks are asked to activate it was first learned.

    Scope
    Mobile · B2C broadband · Video on Demand
    Technologies
    OSS provisioning / Service activation / Triple-play
  2. 02Telia · Architecture

    Telia's first hybrid cloud solution

    Delivered Telia's first hybrid cloud solution, based on Azure VMware Solution and Direct Connect.

    Architectural significance

    Kept the operating model constant and changed the location — cloud capacity as an extension of the data centre rather than a second environment.

    Scope
    Azure VMware Solution (AVS) · Direct Connect · Integration with the existing VMware estate
    Technologies
    Azure VMware Solution / Direct Connect / VMware / Hybrid cloud
  3. 03Telia · Service Assurance

    Telia's first end-to-end monitoring and observability platform

    Established Telia's first E2E monitoring and observability platform spanning BSS, OSS, applications, infrastructure, databases and network.

    Architectural significance

    A cross-domain service view above the individual tools, so operations could see services rather than components.

    Scope
    BSS · OSS · Applications · Infrastructure · Databases · Network
    Technologies
    Splunk / Nagios / BMC TrueSight / ITSM
  4. 04Telia · Service Assurance

    IT operations and service assurance for four brands

    Head of IT Operations & Service Assurance — overall responsibility for the operational efficiency of four brands, including data-centre and hybrid-cloud infrastructure.

    Architectural significance

    One operated estate with brand-specific content, rather than four estates with a shared org chart — the decision everything else followed from.

    Scope
    Four brands · Data-centre and hybrid-cloud infrastructure · Infrastructure consolidation · Data-centre migrations
    Technologies
    IT operations / Data-centre migration / Service assurance / ITSM
  5. 05Telia · Operations

    Test environments for BSS/OSS transformation

    Built and managed the complex test environments — CRM, CPQ, billing, order provisioning, ITSM and network — behind Telia's BSS/OSS transformation projects.

    Architectural significance

    An environment that does not match production's topology and data is testing itself — zoning, load balancing and refresh are architecture, not housekeeping.

    Scope
    CRM · CPQ · Billing · Order provisioning · ITSM · Network
    Technologies
    Test environments / Network zoning / Load balancing / Data refresh
  6. 06Telia · BSS/OSS

    Greenfield BSS/OSS transformation for B2B data communications

    Delivered a greenfield BSS/OSS transformation following the TDC Denmark merger, with Ericsson- and Cisco-based target stacks across Norway and Sweden.

    Architectural significance

    One architecture across two countries, with the product, service and resource models defined before the systems existed.

    Scope
    Greenfield target stacks · B2B data communications · Norway and Sweden · Post-merger integration
    Technologies
    Ericsson / Cisco / Greenfield BSS/OSS
  7. 07Vodafone · Operations

    M-Pesa network delivery in Kenya and Mozambique

    Delivery Manager for M-Pesa in Kenya and Mozambique, expanding the MPLS network to support the mobile payments platform.

    Architectural significance

    A payments platform whose availability depended directly on the data network — delivery where every transaction is a network transaction.

    Scope
    MPLS network expansion · Two markets · Mobile payments platform
    Technologies
    MPLS
  8. 08Marlink · Transformation

    OSS provisioning modernisation across business units — a common order orchestration and service activation architecture replacing business-unit-specific provisioning.

    Architectural significance

    Common where it should be common, specific where the networks genuinely differ — decided by what was refused to be made common.

    Scope
    Order orchestration · Service activation · Legacy provisioning replacement · Multi-business-unit coexistence
    Technologies
    Order orchestration / Service activation / Service catalog / Inventory
