Reza Peyrovian retired from AT&T Labs after 24 years. He designed and implemented both large computer software systems and telecommunication networks. he had Successful track record in billion dollars systems and network growth projects. He has been Adjunct Faculty of Computer Science Department at Stevens Institute of Technology since 1998 and has taught at least ten graduate courses , such as, Virtualization, Cloud Computing, Software Defined Networking, Software Engineering, Software Architecture; Operating Systems, Theory of Programming Languages, Advanced Algorithm Design, Distributed Systems, and Computer Architecture. prior to that he was a faculty of University of Miami for six years.

PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE:
Director/Lead Member of Technical Staff
Enterprise Architect
AT&T Labs
Middletown, NJ 2000 - 2013
Responsible for software, systems and network technology strategy, architectural direction, including Operations Support Systems, technology partner’s relationships, development and demonstration of innovative systems and operation processes. Seven top Highlights:
·
AT&T Labs, Network Management Systems 1998 - 2000
Program Manager and District Manager
Responsible for the program management of a division with 250 technical members and $40M budget to deliver systems and software for AT&T Data Network. Responsible for managing four software Releases per year that included about 800 features.

AT&T Labs, AT&T Switched Network Planning, 1990-1998
Principal Technical Staff Member,
Led teams of systems engineers in identifying network technology or services needs and developing cost-effective solutions. Two highlights:
· Initiated the concept of Next Network Switch for evolution of voice/data routing. Led several teams that conducted the feasibility studies, specified, planned and developed hardware and software. At one point over 400 employees worked full time on the project.
· Key designer of 1B Processor team. Designed and deployed a processor for AT&T Switched Network that doubled its capacity at a cost of about $1.5 Billion, and saved AT&T billions of dollars and still processes all TDM calls. The capacity increase played a critical role in communication during events such as San Francisco Earthquake and 9/11.
