João Fonseca is a Senior Network Engineer and PhD candidate with 11 years of experience designing, deploying, and automating cloud-native 5G/6G systems for operators and vendors across Europe. He combines hands-on telecom architecture expertise (3GPP, ETSI, O-RAN, TM Forum) with proven R&D leadership in EU-funded projects, having led work packages and delivered orchestration and slicing solutions on time and budget. João is fluent with open-source MANO and orchestration platforms (OSM, OpenStack, Kubernetes) and has contributed patches and CI fixes to OpenSourceMANO and ETSI OSM releases. He builds practical automation and AI-enabled tools—recently creating an LLM-based translator for TM Forum specifications—and operates private 5G stacks for validation and integration. Based in Copenhagen, he mentors students and community projects, running a long-standing involvement with the University of Aveiro’s GLUA FOSS mirror and technical support initiatives. His research focus on vertical-aware dynamic orchestration bridges academic rigor with deployable improvements in resource efficiency and service performance.
