I was born in 1985 In Kabul Afghanistan. I studied primary and secondary school and high school in Kabul city. After school graduation in 2003, I studied general subjects to take preparation for university entry exams. In 2004 I started my studies at the civil aviation institute in the ATC department. I earned a bachelor degree in business administration and management.
After completing two years training and obtaining diploma, I joined Kabul international Airport as a ramp manager. In 2010 I started on the job training to obtain air traffic controller license. I obtained my ATC license with aerodrome endorsement. In 2013 I obtained my theory instructor and supervisory certificates from Queen Noor Aviation Academy of Jordan. I then worked as ATC tower supervisor and an on-the job training instructor. I also received my theory instructor certificate from Queen Noor Alia aviation academy and started cooperation with civil aviation institute as aerodynamic and navigation subjects. In 2019 I was promoted to the head of aeronautical information services (AIS) in Afghanistan civil aviation authority. In 2020 I worked as head of operations in Kabul international airport till August 2021.
With the Afghanistan republic government collapse and terrorist groups taking over the country (Afghanistan), I went to Pakistan to emigrate to Canada. In 18 March 2022 I departed to Canada via Islamabad International Airport. I spent almost two months in Edmonton to complete immigration paperwork. I then came to Vancouver with my family where I live. I have worked in the YVR International Airport as a crew chief in AGI ground handling company since January 2023.
