Welcome
Thank you for visiting the Career Portfolio of Muhammad Afruzur Rahman. I hope you enjoy spending time viewing my portfolio. I am a dedicated individual who is looking to become very successful both professionally and personally. I am currently working as a Computer System Support Specialist for the Northern Medical Program at the University of Northern British Columbia. I am also actively pursuing a double major Business Degree in Marketing and Human Resource Management. I have been working in my current position since February 2007 and have successfully completed many projects including the followings:
- Remote access for our users from off campus using Microsoft Windows Terminal Server 2003,
- Upgrading to Microsoft Windows Remote Desktop 2008,
- Implementing RemoteApp,
- Setting up online exam for our medical students under the Distributed Medical Program which includes University of British Columbia and University of Victoria,
- Implementing Licentiate of the Medical Council of Canada (LMCC) exam,
- Capital renewal of Northern Medical Program’s computer infrastructure including desktops and servers,
- Implementing remote desktop support tool called Bomgar,
- Implementing Symantec Ghost Server.
My experience, perseverance, goal oriented approach, hard work and ability to play as an effective team member helped me collaborate with different business area managers and technical/nontechnical team members from different universities and hospitals to derive creative solutions to meet Northern Medical program’s operational needs by delivering and completing all the projects successfully on time. Along side of my professional project compilations, I have completed some class related projects such as the viability of implementing Wind power technology in New Zealand, How WestJet is Doing Their Business, and Operational and Efficiency Analysis of Northern Medical Program’s Technology delivery.
How I can be a valuable addition to any team:
I am a self-starter who can identify technological needs, test proof of concept, present findings to management and implement new technology. This is always a good thing because sometimes you even don’t know you have a need for something until it is in place. For example, I have identified the need for remote desktop support for Northern Medical Program and its satellite sites. At first there was no need. However, as soon as I implemented it, everyone realized the need for it. This is saving a lot of money from travelling back and forth between University of Northern British Columbia Campus and Prince George Regional Hospital. This is also a very useful tool supporting users at Fort St. John and Terrace campus.
I am a cross-platform portability expert which does not necessarily mean computer related aspects. I have the educational and professional background in technology, I know how it works in the marketing side off a business, I also know how Human Resources work through my educational background. I am a jack-of-all-trades who can come up to speed on new endeavors very quickly. For example, I had the opportunity to combine all three backgrounds in to implementing RemoteApp for Northern Medical Program. I have identified the need for RemoteApp. I used my marketing background to sell the idea to all my co-workers and co-workers in other department, and address the concerns those came out of it very diplomatically using my human resource background. I also had to use this type of cross-platform expertise to configure Lotus Domino clients for end users at my previous workplace, promote it to users, train users and also deal with user complains that comes with any organizational change.
Professional/Educational Objective
I have several related career interests. First, I have a great interest in the technology sector. After completing my Business degree I would like to combine my educational background in technology sector with marketing and human resource’s sector to secure myself a challenging position in any industry that thrives to serve their clients, takes care of communities and their employees with higher ethical and moral standards. Secondly, I like fast-paced challenges and the diverse clientele that Human Resources division can offer in any industry. Educational objective wise, I would like to complete a Masters in Business Administration within the next few years. However, while I am not actively looking for any opportunities, I will seriously consider any interesting opportunities offered to me.
