A: I want to find new ways to shape the future of transportation by establishing connections between infrastructure, technology and drivers. I am passionate about the opportunity to create safer roads and improve the performance of multimodal transportation. Previously, as a Radio Frequency (RF) Engineer at Verizon, I re-designed existing infrastructure for better performance and designed new solutions to expand wireless coverage and capacity.
Q: How can your background contribute to the connected/automated vehicle advancement?
A: Through my previous experience in RF Design and System Performance at AT&T and Verizon, I
designed the wireless infrastructure for southeastern Pennsylvania. Connected vehicles and applications will use the same technologies.
A: As a communications engineer in the civil engineering world, I want to improve connectivity,
productivity, safety, and benefit travelers using multimodal transportation within an urban
environment. I am excited to be a bridge between the wireless industry and the transportation
industry.
Q: What do you like to do in your spare time?
A: Playing and watching soccer, traveling and cooking.
