Field Notes
Working notes from an electrical engineer who runs a telecom staffing firm and builds AI systems — on agentic AI, telecom systems, platform engineering, and the hardware underneath it all. Written for engineers, not for search engines.
What building an agentic AI system to run my own pipeline taught me
I built the thing everyone's pitching — in production, with real stakes. What actually held up, where it breaks, and why nothing sends itself.
5G is a hardware problem too: the RF and edge realities behind the software
An EE's tour of the RF, massive-MIMO, RAN-split, and timing realities under 5G that pure-software people miss — and why they matter.
Where agentic AI actually fits in telecom OSS/BSS — and where it doesn't
A practical map: where LLM agents earn their keep in OSS/BSS, and where they're just a fast way to bill a customer twice.
DevOps hiring for telecom platforms: what separates a real platform engineer
Everyone lists Terraform and Kubernetes. Here's what I actually screen for — plus six interview probes that cut through the keyword résumé.
Need the engineer behind the notes on your team?
Whether it's a telecom seat to fill or an agentic system to build, you'll reach a decision-maker, not a queue.
