I'm a native of Kansas based in New Zealand
I consult in the telecommunications industry on the design, build, and operation of broadband, public safety, and Internet of Things networks. My customers are operators, governments, ngos, and demanding users throughout the Asia Pacific region. I'm an approved radio engineer in New Zealand, designing and certifying 4G, 5G, digital mobile radio, satellite, and fixed microwave services.
With organisations including APNIC, ICTP, ITU, and NSRC I have lectured on network and wireless engineering throughout the Asia Pacific region.
I've published papers on mobile data affordability, last-mile connectivity, telecommunications regulation, emerging technologies, and TVWS. Some of my long-term resesarch projects have been in the areas of Internet Topology, Dynamic Radio Spectrum, and the Internet of Things. I've presented my research at conferences in dozens of countries.
In 2011 I exited Araneo, a wholesale microwave telco I founded in 2004. Before that I worked for Pfizer Pharmaceuticals on Information Architecture & Discovery Informatics teams in Groton, Connecticut and Cambridge, Massachusetts.
I'm a Returned Peace Corps Volunteer (Poland 15). I spent a summer at Interlochen and have a BSc from the University of Kansas.
