He originally started studying law, but then began his long journey as a Syrian refugee. Finally arriving in Switzerland, he quickly learned the language and managed on his own without social welfare. He worked where he could, sometimes at two jobs in two shifts. His wish is to do an apprenticeship as an electrician and so he came to innovenergy. Since then, he conscientiously assembles salt battery storage systems, tests them and prepares them for delivery. Stock-keeping is also his responsibility.
