Carrier Aggregation: RF Engineering + Software Development

In telecom, carrier aggregation combines multiple bands at once for more capacity — no dropped connection, just more throughput. That's this chapter.

CARRIER 1
RF engineering, ongoing
CARRIER 2
Python fundamentals
Currently on main — expanding into software engineering through Python, CS50P, and hands-on projects while continuing full-time RF engineering. The goal is to build intelligent tools that improve telecom operations through automation and data analysis.
