I have led the technical and project delivery for some of the most critical and complex infrastructure initiatives in Bangladesh’s utility sector, collaborating with DESCO, NESCO, DPDC, and BREB. These projects were vital to national energy reliability and digital transformation, demanding the highest standards of design, execution, and operational excellence.

The scope was truly comprehensive and high-stakes, encompassing the full turnkey process: from civil infrastructure design and construction to the delivery, installation, and maintenance of all passive and active equipment. Each data center and disaster recovery site was meticulously engineered and achieved Tier 3 certification by Uptime Institute, a globally recognized standard for high availability, fault tolerance, and operational sustainability.

Key highlights include:

• Critical Technology Integration: Deployed advanced networking (Cisco ACI), application delivery and security (F5), enterprise IT platforms (Oracle MDM/C2M), and high-performance storage (NetApp), ensuring robust, secure, and scalable operations.
• Vital Infrastructure: Implemented precision cooling, redundant power systems, advanced fire suppression, and comprehensive physical security to safeguard mission-critical operations.
• Massive Scale: BREB’s data center was designed to support up to 5 million smart meters, while DESCO, NESCO, and DPDC facilities each support 2 million meters—making these among the largest and most advanced utility data centers in the region.
• Disaster Recovery: Both DESCO’s primary and DR sites were built to identical Tier 3 standards, ensuring seamless failover and business continuity.
• Smart Command Center/NOC: Centralized, real-time monitoring and control for all utility and IT operations, enhancing reliability, security, and rapid response.

These projects required not only deep technical expertise but also decisive leadership and critical problem-solving under pressure. My role was pivotal in overcoming complex challenges, coordinating multidisciplinary teams, and ensuring flawless execution—delivering infrastructure that is truly mission-critical and internationally certified for reliability and performance.
