Omi Azad’s Summary
A reliable and self-motivated achiever with a professional attitude. I believe that the ability to understand and deal effectively with a client’s ICT needs requires as much skill in human communication as it does technical proficiency. I strive to "bridge the gap" between technical know-how and the practical, goal oriented needs of managers and end-users in the working environment, thereby providing simple but effective solutions, which fulfill often complex requirements. With well developed technical skills I can work alone or in a team. I have leadership experience and can build effective and friendly relations with colleagues and clients. As one of the early leaders of the Bangladeshi ICT sector I have been involved in various initiatives in the sector. Now I want to continue playing my part in the hi-tech technological progress which the 'tiger-cub' economy of Bangladesh is undergoing as it becomes a world-class player in the ICT field.
Omi Azad’s Specialties:
- Web Application Development
- Network Architecture Planning
- Call Center Deployment Consultancy
With over 11 successful years as an IT professional I am highly experienced in planning, procuring, and deploying IT solution. I am familiar with many web and data communication technologies and have an excellent overview of the IT sector at large. I am familiar with most common software packages and although I regard myself as an advance IT practitioner.
