Tarzon Budhathoki's Linkedin Analytics

At the intersection of telecommunications infrastructure and community advocacy, I've built a career that combines technical expertise with a passion for lifting others up. My journey began in Nepal during my Mechanical Engineering studies and evolved when I arrived in Australia, where I completed my Telecommunications Engineering degree and discovered dual passions: optimizing telecom infrastructure and empowering international students. Working with Tier 1 Telecom Operators across APAC, I've specialized in end-to-end network procurement and asset management—implementing data-driven technical audits that enhanced decision-making by over 30% and establishing circular economy protocols that extended hardware lifecycles while reducing e-waste by approximately 40%. By creating standardized processes for the refurbishment and responsible disposal of network equipment (IP systems, transmission equipment, mobile RAN), I've helped align procurement strategies with both sustainability goals and operational efficiency targets. This technical expertise is balanced by my commitment to community advocacy. Since 2020, I've worked with organizations like City of Melbourne and Study Melbourne to support international students, creating pathways for knowledge exchange and professional development. This work recently earned me recognition as a finalist for the Emerging Leader - International Alumni Award at the Victorian International Education Awards—a humbling experience that reinforced my belief in the power of community support. I'm constantly exploring emerging technologies, particularly AI, investigating how these innovations can transform procurement practices and asset management in the telecommunications sector. Whether optimizing ROI for recovered network assets or organizing workshops on technical career pathways for international students, I'm driven by the conviction that sustainable solutions emerge when we combine technical knowledge with community engagement. To fellow telecommunications professionals, nternational students and emerging tech passionate : Victoria's ecosystem offers incredible opportunities for growth through collaboration. The most rewarding path forward involves sharing expertise and supporting each other's journeys.
