Lyes Sefiane is a Software Engineer based in Ottawa with nine years of experience designing and shipping Java-based telecom tools and production software. He has progressed at Ciena from senior associate to Product Owner and Software Engineer 3, owning NAVA (Network Analysis and Visualization Application) and its collector agent while leading feature development, code reviews, and deployments. His work spans backend and UI (Java 8–11, JavaFX, Spring), automation and cloud tooling (Ansible, AWS, Docker), and operational support for major carriers like BT and Verizon. Lyes combines hands-on engineering with product ownership—creating a Generic TL1 Parser that parses virtually all OME6500 TL1 data and delivering customer-facing releases and eLearning content. He also brings an AI and research background from early multi-agent and Erlang simulation projects, reflecting a habit of applying academic rigor to production problems. Practical, detail-oriented and promotion-driven, he’s known for improving tooling, code quality, and deployment workflows in distributed, telecom-focused environments.
