Verification Manager at Alcatel Canada
Ottawa, Canada Area
I have been working at Alcatel (formerly Newbridge) since 1995. During that time I have worked primarily on test automation of ATM switches - focussing on Switched Services, Cell Relay line cards, and Frame Relay line cards.
I spent 2.5 years managing one of the first test automation teams in my business unit, creating an efficient team starting with a very small base of experienced people.
I moved from ATM to DSL in June of 2004, and I am now a manager for a test team of approximately 10 verification professionals.
Prior to entering the telecommunications field, I flew Sea King helicopters for the Canadian Military.

I am the manager of verification professionals testing the physical layer of DSL switches (VDSL2 down through ADSL). My previous team was the local automation team for Alcatel's industry leading 7330 ISAMs. We created new automation, maintain existing scripts, and provide automation assistance to feature development and product test teams.
