"Architecture is not just about buildings, it’s a means of improving people’s quality of life."

​

Nematullah was born in Ghazni Province, Afghanistan. In 2005, he obtained his Bachelor of Science in Architecture from Kabul Polytechnic University. After graduating Nematullah worked for several organizations, most notably the International Organization for Migration (IOM) in Kabul and U.S. Army projects in Afghanistan.

​

As a national project architect at IOM, Nematullah was involved in the design of over 20 various sized projects including hospitals, educational facilities, commercial, residential and multifamily projects from initial concept to construction administration and opening ceremony when the building was completed. In addition to completing the project, he was also involved in the 1-2 year warranty period.

 

Nematullah’s experience includes project design and construction, site and facility planning and design, renovation, development of operation and maintenance standards, and cost feasibility studies. He has delivered quality, cost-effective products developed through a highly interactive process ranging from initial concept design to design development, contract management, and implementation.  He established frequent communication between the stakeholders, including government agencies and end-users, which keeps projects on schedule. This engaged approach has allowed Nematullah to spot potential problems and provide solutions proactively. In addition, he consulted as a volunteer on projects created as a result of natural disasters. Nematullah worked with the government to create temporary homes for people displaced by earthquakes and extreme weather conditions. Being exposed to hardship and loss of this caliber has elevated his ability to empathize, which he has carried into his work.

​

Nematullah had the opportunity to move to the United States with his family in December 2018. He is married with four children. Nematullah has a great appreciation for living in Washington and working for Rolluda Architects with a great team of architects. His hobbies include playing volleyball, football, reading, traveling, and listening to music.
