Meet the Founder

Hi, I'm Narval Barnes

I'm the founder of Barnes Engineering Services, a hands-on engineer with over 10 years in the fiber optics industry and 5+ years working in HFC (Hybrid Fiber-Coax) services. From fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) deployments to fiber-to-the-business (FTTB) buildouts, splicing, OTDR testing, and full network certifications — every solution I deliver is shaped by years of real-world field experience.

Alongside fiber, those years built deep, practical expertise in networking and IT — the same technologies businesses depend on every day. Today, with active credentials in cybersecurity and ongoing studies in Computer Science, Barnes Engineering Services bridges traditional infrastructure with modern, secure digital solutions.

Why Choose Barnes

The Barnes difference

You're not hiring an agency that subcontracts your work. You're hiring an engineer who has personally pulled fiber, spliced terminations, configured networks, and hardened systems for over a decade.

01

Hands-On Engineer

Every project is led by a credentialed engineer who has been in the field — not a salesperson handing it off.

02

Fiber-First Heritage

10+ years of FTTH, FTTB, OSP, and HFC experience means infrastructure done right the first time.

03

Security Trained

CompTIA Security+ and CEH-trained, so cybersecurity is part of the design — not an afterthought.

04

Always Evolving

Active CS studies and continuous learning keep our solutions modern, scalable, and future-ready.
