I build digital public services, climate software, and industry-aligned technology education.
What I'm looking for
I’ve built national-scale digital services through Cyberaan, including Afghanistan’s government web platform, a Kabul Municipality project-management system, and an UNDP-funded adaptive learning platform deployed across 183 municipalities.
I combine nearly 20 years in technology and academia, teaching software engineering, big data, and digital transformation while contributing to climate-modeling software at the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research.
