Building toward international, remote, product-led work

I was born on November 19, 1994, in Malistan, Afghanistan — a place where educational opportunities, technology, and modern infrastructure looked very different from major cities. No one could have predicted that a child born there would eventually build a career around computer science, networking, and digital products. Every journey starts somewhere simple: a child, a family, and a long road that hadn't unfolded yet.

I started school in 2001 at Shahid Balkhi High School. Long before programming or the internet meant anything to me, school gave me something more fundamental: discipline, curiosity, and a refusal to settle for average. I ranked first in my class for all 12 years, grade 1 through 12 — not just an academic result, but a pattern that would repeat throughout my life.

Partway through, I spent two years continuing my education in Herat — a new city, a new environment, and a lesson in adapting fast and building relationships from scratch. It became the bridge between my early education and the much bigger challenge waiting in Kabul.

After school came Kankor, Afghanistan's university entrance exam. I scored 315 — enough to be admitted to Computer Science at Kabul University. What began as a major eventually became the foundation of everything that followed.

At Kabul University I built a base across programming, algorithms, data structures, databases, networks, and software engineering. But I learned quickly that a degree opens a door — it doesn't walk you through it. The real world demanded problem-solving, communication, customer management, and constant self-directed learning that no classroom could fully prepare me for.

A degree can open a door, but continuous learning and real-world execution determine how far you can go.

I graduated in 2018. The question shifted immediately from "what have I studied?" to "what can I actually build?"

My first professional role was Web Developer at Fanoos Accounting Company (Dec 2018 – May 2019) — the first time academic concepts had to become real, working systems for real users. From there I worked as IT Assistant at the Independent Election Commission (2019), which stretched my view of technology beyond writing code into troubleshooting, hardware, and keeping systems operational under pressure.

I then joined Techzone Solutions as a Software Developer (Sept 2019 – Dec 2020), where the gap between "Computer Science graduate" and "professional developer" closed significantly — strengthening real experience in application architecture, databases, APIs, and debugging.

In 2021 my career took an important turn: Technical Sales Manager at Talia Corporation. It moved me from a purely technical track into the intersection of technology and business — learning to identify customer needs, explain technical solutions clearly, and bridge the gap between engineering teams and the people actually paying for the product.

Technology alone isn't enough. Real impact comes from understanding the business problem technology is supposed to solve.

One of the most significant chapters of my career has been Quika Afghanistan, where I've worked as Coordinator, Technical Sales Manager, and Head Technical Manager. This pulled me deep into satellite internet and networking — VSAT, MikroTik, LHG5, QRT5, Tenda routers, IP networking, NAT, VLAN, and BGP — technology very different from writing application code.

At this stage I was supporting an ISP environment serving roughly 3,000 customers. Supporting a handful of users is nothing like operating at that scale — reliability, escalation handling, and operational discipline become critical. This wasn't theoretical: it meant real field work — equipment installation, connectivity troubleshooting, and on-site customer support, not just sitting behind a laptop.

A story that only lists achievements wouldn't be honest. Building a career in Afghanistan has never been easy, and the major changes the country went through after 2021 made things harder for a lot of technology professionals — limited job opportunities, financial pressure, an unstable market, and real uncertainty about the future.

These challenges became part of my story. But they did not become the end of it.

After years of education and experience, it would have been easy to stop. Instead, I chose to build — projects, websites, applications, new skills — and to reduce my dependence on any single local opportunity by developing capabilities that could connect me with remote and international markets.

This is the shift that matters most: from someone waiting for opportunity to someone creating it. I built KarJo — an Afghan job aggregation platform pulling listings from jobs.af, ACBAR, and LinkedIn into one searchable experience, with a Telegram bot, bilingual English/Dari support, and automated job collection. I built Keesa, a personal finance and life-organization platform covering transactions, expenses, income, loans, and notes in one dashboard. I built Ariana Expeditions, a full business platform for a tourism client. And I built this portfolio — because having skills isn't enough if no one can see them.

Don't just tell people what you can build. Show them what you have built.

Today I'm far more than a Computer Science graduate. My experience spans software development, mobile development, IT support, technical sales, ISP operations, satellite networking, management, and independent product building. My stack has grown from PHP/Laravel through React/Node.js to Next.js, Supabase, PostgreSQL, and Flutter — and now includes AI-assisted development as part of how I build.

My path hasn't been linear. But that's exactly what made it multidimensional — I understand technology from the engineer's side, the infrastructure side, the customer's side, and the business side. The next chapter isn't about learning another framework. It's about turning more than a decade of experience into a clear professional identity, real international opportunities, and products that last.
