Akhil Inturi

Data Center Connectivity Engineer

I design, deploy, and validate fiber connectivity for hyperscale data centers. I've delivered 150+ Meta sites with zero-defect NOC turnover, and I build Python and SQL tools that give teams visibility into link health.

Where I've worked

Network Infrastructure Engineer ยท Verveba

Jan 2023 โ€” Present ยท Irving, TX (multi-state field) ยท Meta hyperscale FMS connectivity deployments
  • Delivered 150+ end-to-end connectivity deployments with zero-defect acceptance at Meta NOC turnover, owning each site from BOM/EDP validation and procurement through rack commissioning and sign-off.
  • Validated 876 endpoints per site against loss budgets, testing singlemode, multimode, MPO, AOC/DAC, and copper links with OTDR, light meters, and VFLs.
  • Authored MOPs and SOPs for installation, testing, and live-environment cutovers aligned with TIA-568, BICSI, and NEC.
  • Audited installations and tracked vendor repairs to closure with Meta, Ericsson, and partner teams, using pre/post photo packages.
  • Restored failed links before turnover through loopbacks and Layer 1 isolation with Meta NOC.
  • Sequenced multi-site deployment plans, forecast materials weekly, and kept concurrent builds on schedule while reducing team travel.
  • Supported live technology refreshes for high-bandwidth AI/HPC infrastructure by commissioning active and passive cabling.

Infrastructure & QA Automation Engineer ยท Aptean Technologies

Dec 2021 โ€” Jan 2023 ยท Remote, India
  • Cut manual regression effort by 60% across 5 distributed modules with Cypress and C# test suites for network-facing enterprise APIs.
  • Raised end-to-end test coverage from 72% to 89% with a 95% pre-release defect resolution rate (150+ defects), using SQL to verify backend data integrity.
