Hi, Iā€™m Rahat Anowar

I am a Cloud Solutions Architect with extensive experience in systems, networking, and cloud technologies. Currently, I work at Huawei Technologies, supporting the South Asian Regional Office (Bangladesh, Nepal, Bhutan, Sri Lanka), overseeing the deployment, architecture design, and troubleshooting of Private, Public, and Hybrid Cloud solutions.

Previously, as Assistant System Engineer at Flora Telecom Limited, I specialized in the E-Passport & Automated Border Control Project, managing the installation, configuration, and maintenance of eGates and backend server clusters nationwide in partnership with VERIDOS GMBH. Simultaneously, as Lead Solutions Architect at Flora Web Services, I designed and implemented secure, scalable, and high-availability cloud solutions.

I have hands-on experience with enterprise-grade servers and storage, including DELL EMC, VRTX, PowerVault, SC Series, ME Series, MX7000, and HP Superdome, and am proficient in major cloud platforms such as Huawei Cloud, Microsoft Azure, AWS, and Google Cloud.
