About Magic City Technology Council

Magic City Technology Council was founded by Ahmed Moiz. Mr. Moiz after working as software engineer in the industry for over 13 years know that Software Engineering Processes and Quality is something that drives the technology. As a resident of Birmingham, AL and to give something back to the community he decided to found this not for profit organization for promotion of better Software Engineering, Quality Assurance and Technical PM practices in the region. His vision is to make Quality Software Products as a second name for Birmingham.

It it is often thought that process methodologies in Software and IT Practices are time consuming and can be overlooked to gain productivity. Time consuming it is, but with experience and education it is proved that these methodologies and practices do have more advantages than disadvantages in the long run. Birmingham is a city with potential and has seen tremendous growth within the technological arena in the recent years. The businesses are doing great and economical growth is evident. We can see productivity and growth in businesses but quality and success of any Technology Project requires good business practices, good QA and engineering practices and constant growth of workforce as regards their technical knowledge. Much said about that but being a part of the workforce we all feel the need of a platform to understand and keep up with the technological advancement. We also need a platform to get together and work on metrics of success and measurement of understanding in conjunction with Technical Management Practices. Magic City Technology Council will be such an organization founded by the IT Professionals with the undertaking of establishing such a platform.

Magic City Technology Council will try and ensure adoption of a structured direction for the technological and technical workforce by educating, experience and using this platform to manage growth. It will not only help the work force but also help achieve the upward spiral that we think of as the underlying concept for MTC. Helping the workforce will help businesses that will help city which in turn will help Workforce and Businesses grow together. From the corporation point of view it will help network, sponsor, socialize and advertise businesses through not just products offered but by the quality possessed by the products through technically educated workforce.

This is a unique perception and as MTC grows, we strongly believe that other cities will approach to help them achieve this standard.
