My reputation for successful market launches and for saving troubled projects in the global wireless, Tier 1 Carrier space covers Mobile Data, VoIP/IMS application, high transaction and the ASP marketplace.
Technology Expertise: Over the past 20 years I have used this expertise to guide Next Generation Network and Application Architecture development covering the IMS, VoIP, SIP/H.323, VxML, Linux, MySQL, JBoss, Wireless PLMN/PSTN, Wireless Applications, ASR/TTS, and WiFi deployment space. Additional competencies in Project Management, Marketing / Sales Support, Technology, and R&D ensure rapid deal and project closure.
Why you should explore this site:
To understand who I am and what I could do to help your business. I was born, raised, and educated in southern Minnesota. I have more than 20 years of experience in the Product, Technical, and Marketing Support areas of the computer and telephony industry, initially starting as a computer programmer at Minnesota State University at Mankato while pursuing my BS degree (Magna cum Laude) in Computer Science and Mathematics (double major). While I am retired, serious questions will be entertained.

My Technology Blog has moved to this site (tomposz.com). Check out the posts in the right sidebar.
Some of the last projects I was involved with at Verizon Network Planning in Mobile Data included Product, Marketing, Business Development, and architecture-related activities in the wireless carrier space, with particular emphasis on Enterprise Private Networks. Click the “What I’ve been doing” bar above.
I have guided the development of programs and engagements with mobile and fixed-line carriers and enterprises. They are seeking solutions and services to solve a very basic revenue generation issue around enhanced services, particularly with mobile data. The mantra is “How to provide more than just the voice connection, provide value, get stickiness, reduce churn, make money.”
I am the guy who helps to focus the technology choices to get the engagements launched quickly, which makes the money earlier in the business plan. I am skilled in all areas of Product Management, including OEM, Acquisition, Technical and Business Consulting, Systems Integration, Capacity and Performance Management, Analytical Modeling, Marketing and Channel Support, and Software Development.
I am an accomplished writer, speaker, and presenter. I continue to utilize my Problem-Solving abilities in Management, Financial, and Mathematics/Statistics disciplines to show where the money is and where the bottlenecks are and ensure standards compliance through testing and oversight. My understanding of technology helps to show the path toward successful business engagement.
In technology, I have been “around the block” with a wide range of experiences, from compiler and syntax algorithms to performance engineering, capacity planning, and tele-traffic engineering.
I am married, now widowed, and have 2 children. Like many of us, I get to observe firsthand the effects of the Internet and wireless technologies on young people. But of course, they are young adults now.
