Verizon – Cloud Management & Network Mapping Platform

At Verizon Wireless Solutions, I developed a full-stack platform designed to manage cable connections, equipment, cloud resources, and network infrastructure across the United States. The project focused on improving network visibility, optimizing cloud operations, and providing real-time infrastructure insights to internal engineering teams.

Network Mapping & Real-Time Visualization

I built interactive network mapping tools using React, allowing users to:

  • Display physical and virtual infrastructure on dynamic maps
  • Add, edit, and remove nodes, cables, and equipment
  • Visualize data center connections, rack layouts, and network paths
  • Quickly identify misconfigurations or outages
  • Access detailed metadata for each network asset

This system significantly improved operational awareness and reduced troubleshooting time for network engineers.

Microservices Architecture & RESTful API Development

I implemented a fully modular Node.js microservices architecture, integrated with MongoDB, to support scalable and independent services. The backend enabled:

  • CRUD operations for infrastructure assets
  • Authentication and access control
  • High-performance data retrieval for mapping tools
  • Real-time updates and synchronization
  • Seamless scaling across cloud environments

This architecture allowed Verizon to decentralize services and evolve their platform without disruptions.

Cloud Resource Automation & IaaS Integrations

I also engineered Node.js modules that interacted directly with Verizon’s cloud-based Linux infrastructure, automating key operations related to:

  • Compute provisioning and deprovisioning
  • Storage management
  • Network configuration
  • Disk allocation and lifecycle operations
  • Infrastructure state monitoring

These modules powered Verizon’s next-generation Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) platform, increasing automation, reducing manual work, and ensuring consistent cloud operations nationwide.

Impact & Results

Through this project, Verizon gained a more accurate, scalable, and automated way to manage cloud resources and nationwide network infrastructure. The improved tooling enhanced internal workflows, reduced operational overhead, and delivered faster time-to-resolution for network-related issues.
