Susan’s Playground Day 2 Track Speakers

Principal Architect and Chief Technology Officer (CTO) at Invences Inc., leading the design and execution of AI-native, cloud-scale, and next-generation connectivity platforms across telecom, enterprise, and digital infrastructure ecosystems. My focus is on architecting end-to-end systems that integrate wireless networks, data centers, security, and AI into unified, intelligent platforms capable of operating at scale.

With over 20 years of experience across AT&T, Verizon, Samsung, and emerging technology ventures, I have led architecture, engineering, and deployment of complex systems spanning 4G LTE, 5G SA/NSA, Open RAN, NG-Core, MEC, cloud-native platforms, and distributed edge computing. I specialize in building carrier-grade and enterprise-grade architectures that transition from lab validation to large-scale production environments.

At Invences, I lead the development of AI-native platforms such as iFabric, enabling automated audits, full-stack observability, digital twin modeling, and closed-loop autonomous operations. My work focuses on Agentic AI, Generative AI, and Physical AI, delivering systems that are self-optimizing, resilient, and capable of intelligent decision-making across networks, data centers, and enterprise platforms.

I have architected and delivered Enterprise Private 5G and Open RAN solutions across smart cities, utilities, and industrial sectors, including cost-efficient platforms designed to extend connectivity to underserved and rural communities. My approach emphasizes lab-to-live engineering, ensuring interoperability, scalability, and real-world performance.

I actively contribute to global technology ecosystems including IEEE, AI-RAN Alliance, O-RAN Alliance, and OnGo Alliance, and regularly engage as a keynote speaker and technical advisor on AI-native networks, autonomous systems, and next-generation infrastructure.

I am passionate about solving complex system challenges and building future-ready, intelligent infrastructure platforms that drive innovation, operational efficiency, and real-world impact.
