Welcome to ZED Consulting

A Technology and Digital Consultant

Founder

Bula and welcome to site. My name is Zaed and I’m the founder of ZED Consulting, a technology consultant focused on helping organizations, talented professionals, artists, and growing entrepreneurs with technology project delivery and digital services. I am originally from Fiji and have been living and working across New Zealand and Australia for many years now.

Based in Melbourne, I work with clients from New Zealand, Australia and Fiji. I work with both large organizations such as banks, rail companies, councils, government departments, insurance companies and also with small-medium businesses. Most of my work is executed remotely however depending on the project I do tend to travel at times as well.

Currently on the hunt for my next creative project, please feel free to reach out should you wish to collaborate.

Software and Process Improvement Projects

Projects that focus on implementing new software applications or aim to make changes to business processes are complex in nature. These projects require people with niche skill sets to fully understand the current state of the business environment and define a future state that will meet the business objectives. As a Senior Business Analyst, I make a living out of ensuring software projects meet business requirements and budget expectations.
