4G/5G RAN Optimization & Drive Test Engineer (ZTE Equipment)
About
RAN Optimization Engineer with 4G/5G field experience across Airtel, MTN, and Moov Africa, specializing in radio parameter optimization and KPI root cause analysis across ZTE, Ericsson, and Nokia networks.I work across the full KPI chain — Accessibility, Retainability, Mobility, and Integrity — diagnosing failures at the signaling level: RACH procedure breakdowns, ERAB setup failures, handover misconfiguration, and EN-DC anchor instability.Outside commercial deployments, I maintain a containerized 5G Standalone Core lab (Free5GC + UERANSIM) on Kubernetes, with Prometheus and Grafana for real-time per-subscriber monitoring — giving me end-to-end visibility from UE registration through NF interaction that most field engineers don't have.

4G/5G RAN Optimization & Drive Test Engineer (ZTE Equipment)
LABTECH
Lagos State, Nigeria
* Performed 5G NSA field testing and optimization, providing real-time KPI analysis for accessibility, retainability mobility, integrity and throughput performance. * Diagnosed and escalated EN-DC LTE anchor configuration issues, restoring 5G service availability in affected areas. *Identified serving cell dominance and overshooting scenarios, recommending antenna tilt adjustments to improve coverage balance and user experience. * Investigated throughput degradation cases using field measurements and KPI correlation, enabling fault isolation and resolution. *Conducted multi-layer analysis (LTE + NR) to detect coverage gaps, interference, and performance bottlenecks.

RAN Optimization & DevOps Engineer (ZTE Equipment | AWS | Kubernetes)
LABTECH
Lagos State, Nigeria
Designed and maintain a fully containerized 5G Standalone Core lab (Free5GC + UERANSIM) on Ubuntu, with all 10 network functions (AMF, SMF, UPF, PCF, UDR, UDM, AUSF, NRF, NSSF, CHF) running as independent processes. Configured per-subscriber AMBR policies via MongoDB PCF data, implemented multi-slice registration across two network slices (SST:1 SD:010203 and SST:1 SD:112233), and conducted deliberate NF failure isolation testing to observe core behavior under AMF, SMF, PCF, and UDR failures. Integrated Prometheus and Grafana for real-time per-subscriber monitoring, and automated infrastructure provisioning using Ansible, Terraform, Jenkins CI/CD pipelines, and AWS services including VPC, ALB, ASG, EventBridge, and Lambda.

DT Engineer (ZTE Equipment)
Lagos, Nigeria
* Conducted cluster and SSV drive tests across Airtel and MTN deployments in Lagos, Nigeria on ZTE equipment, using TEMS Pocket with customized scripts, ensuring consistent log collection and KPI analysis. * Conducted 5G/4G drive tests (cluster + SSV) and stationary logs, identifying performance gaps and network improvements. * Resolved vendor issues by extracting critical 5G HO/fallback events that field engineers had missed. * Prepared and validated reports for ZTE, Ericsson, and Nokia projects, ensuring 100% vendor acceptance. * Provided remote technical guidance to field engineers; analyzed logs and identified improvement opportunities. * Investigated and resolved customer complaint clusters, improving throughput efficiency by 95%. * Performed RAN swap correction analysis for misaligned sectors, restoring coverage accuracy and ensuring proper service continuity. * Mentored junior engineers on optimization workflows, drive test methodology, and reporting standards. * Performed back-office KPI analysis covering Accessibility, Retainability, Mobility, and Integrity, identifying degraded cells and producing optimization reports for network improvement.
