Paul has repeatedly driven service management and DevOps transformations that improved MTTR, uptime, and developer productivity across large enterprise orgs. Based in Clarence, NY, he pairs deep telecom software roots (early career in EMS/NMS and GPON systems) with a taste for practical culture change and experimentation.
