Ahmed Khan Shahid
I started my professional career in the sphere of satellite communication as a broadcasting/transmission engineer in a span of 20 years with various tv channels & operated the various areas including studio (sound and vision), off-line, outside broadcast, transmission and master control operations. I built upon this broad broadcasting experience through working with a digital broadcasting equipment solutions provider, initially as a Field Support Engineer, Systems Specialist then as a MCR Manager.
The support role involved working with broadcasters around the world, fault-finding and solving 'real-world', often urgent, system integration problems. Other duties within this role included installations and upgrades, and providing training (both writing and presenting technical training for internees. Each of these roles gave me exposure to, and required a working understanding of, a significant number of the systems as used by all broadcasters, as well as account, project, and human resources management.
