Experience

SS7 Network Monitoring System

https://www.aitia.ai/products/sga-netmon.pdf
A telephony network monitoring system for 2G/3G/4G mobile core networks. I designed, implemented, and maintained many server and client components of this system. The server components run 24/7, and some of them process large amounts of data in real time. Though most of the programs that I wrote were in C++, there were a few projects in pure C. I used multi-threading in my programs when needed for greater efficiency. I also wrote a simple firmware code in x86 assembly for one of our SS7 capture cards.
