A breif profile will be provided soon.

My name is A.S.M. Reza Ur Rahman but most people call me Reza. I am a self-taught man with a linguistics background. At Drik I work as Head of Operations and I really love my job. Personally, I am a complicated mixture of good and bad, considerate and selfish, loving and callous, optimist and pessimist, cool and obstinate. I am extremely Catholic in my taste and read everything at hand. I want to live for another 72 years and my last wish is that the epitaph on my grave will read: “Here lies a man who was a jack of all trades but a master of none. Let him, thus, rest in peace".

Sri Lankan by birth, global in heart. At home at Drik. I love what I do – HR, projects and everything else that comes my way. And at Drik, a lot comes your way!
