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 Systems Administrator for the University of Northern British Columbia. After successfully completing my Bachelor of Commerce Degree in Marketing and Human Resource Management, I am now pursuing Masters of Business Administration (MBA) degree at UNBC. Some of my contributions to the University of Northern British Columbia includes:
- Active directory and network resource management on Microsoft Server 2003 and Microsoft Server 2008,
- 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.
- Providing online exam solutions for Affiliated Regional Centers in Fort St. John and Terrace.
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 health authorities (NHA, Fraser Health) 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 a cost saving measure for NMP that would otherwise have been absorbed from travelling back and forth between University of Northern British Columbia Campus and University Hospital of Northern British Columbia. This is also a very useful tool supporting users at Fort St. John and Terrace campus. Another solution that is being used province wide is online exam delivery for Medical program’s associated regional centers. Before this solution, students had to travel to UNBC main campus to write an online exam from Fort St. John and Terrace. Identifying a clear need, I have implemented delivering online exam via Terminal Server solution which was more convenient and cost savings for both the institute and the students. This is now a feasible and viable solution not only for Fort St. John and Terrace but also UBC’s Chilliwack affiliated regional center.
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 Objective
I have great interest in the technology and Human Resources sector. I would like to combine my educational background in technology 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.
Background
Dhaka, Bangladesh is where I was born and raised. I studied abroad in Canada for 3 years, before working at UNBC. I am a fluent speaker, reader, and writer in English and Bengali. I also have advanced conversational ability in Hindi. My professional and personal experiences enable me to unlock as well as acquire valuable knowledge of Asian, European, and North American culture, customs, and business etiquettes.
