Summary
Ahmad Arshad is a seasoned IT and web development leader with over a decade of experience orchestrating digital transformation across higher education and non-profit sectors. Currently Director of Programming and Web Development at Rutgers and Senior Director of Technology at Zainab Center, he blends hands-on systems architecture with service design—migrating LMS platforms, integrating CRM/CMS/LMS stacks, and automating HR and finance workflows. He has led large cloud and on-prem migrations, built data warehouses and BI pipelines, and established DevOps and CI/CD practices that scale research and library services. An experienced educator, he teaches advanced web development (MEAN stack) while mentoring cross-functional teams to deliver user-centered, secure services. Less obvious: he pairs deep legacy systems knowledge (from VOIP and SAN-era infrastructure) with modern SaaS and cloud strategies, making him effective at bridging institutional constraints and contemporary engineering.
