Summary
Mohammed Farooq is a telecom-focused engineering lead with 10 years of experience building and automating cloud-native solutions for GSM, LTE and 5G networks, currently leading Custom Solutions Development at Nokia. He blends deep protocol-level expertise (VoLTE, SIP, DIAMETER, LTE RRC/RLC/MAC) with hands-on cloud and automation skills across Kubernetes, OpenStack, VNFs/CNFs and public clouds. A pragmatic automation engineer, he has built test frameworks and automated dozens of telecom test cases using Robot, Testkube, Ansible, Mistral and Python, and has driven deployments of HA MySQL and containerized mediation platforms. He is comfortable across vendors (Ericsson, Nokia, Huawei) and tooling (Wireshark, JIRA, Git), and also applies data analysis and ML (R/Python) to performance and coverage analytics. An interesting thread through his career is combining radio-layer optimization experience with modern devops — enabling repeatable, testable telco-cloud integrations.
