About
Two worlds. One vision.
I'm Rashed Ahmad — a technology executive with 20+ years of experience architecting and delivering complex software systems across health tech, media, and enterprise SaaS. Currently VP of Technology Delivery at Publicis Groupe, leading a global engineering organization spanning every continent.
I've built and led technology at Salesforce, Klick Health, Shift CRM, and The Weather Network — and hold a patent cited by 48 subsequent filings from Google, Microsoft, Meta, Adobe, and Symantec.
Beyond the executive table, I build custom FFT-driven audio visualization and shader systems for live DJ streams — broadcasting globally on BPM Radio UK and Mixcloud, with sets charting in the global Top 10.

System and Method for Managing Applications for Multiple Computing Endpoints and Multiple Endpoint Types
Filed 2012 · Primary Inventor
A multi-endpoint application server architecture enabling administrators to create, manage, and deliver content and application experiences across heterogeneous endpoint types. The system dynamically determines endpoint type at runtime and adapts content presentation accordingly — enabling consistent cross-platform delivery across web, mobile, and native clients from a single managed content layer.

Creative Force
Code. Sound. Stream.
When the code isn't compiling, the music is. A live DJ and broadcaster who builds the entire streaming stack from scratch — because off-the-shelf tools aren't interesting.
Live DJ & Broadcaster
Broadcasting live sets on BPM Radio UK and Mixcloud to a global audience — with mixes charting in the global Top 10, Top 50, and Top 100 across genres.

Custom Streaming Software
Built from scratch
Off-the-shelf tools aren't enough. I build custom streaming software that analyzes audio in real-time using Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) to drive generative audio visualizers and video shader effects — turning every live set into a synchronized audio-visual experience.
