Saman Ashoori

Hello! Saman Ashoori here. Big fan of coding, running and energy drinks - just to keep my heart always guessing

About me

I love computer science, especially programming. It's all about making stuff and being able to see it in action. I love to learn new things and I'm always looking for ways to improve my skills.

Data Analyst - Sheffield (UK)

Data Analyst Apprentice - SMRS

(September 2023 - Present)

Started as a Data Analyst apprentice at SMRS, but thanks to my coding and computer science background, I passed the training.

Worked on projects using Python, Tableau, Power BI, and other tools basically turning stats into something useful.

I built programs to pull data from APIs and automate tasks using Python. Because why do things manually when you can code your way out of it?

Retail and Hospitality

(September 2018 - Present)

I have worked in retail and hospitality before and during uni, and even alongside my apprenticeship. Since 2022, I have always had at least two jobs because rest is overrated

Roles: Greggs (Team Member to Shift Leader, 2018-2022), Revolution (Bartender, 2022-2025), Aldi (Store Assistant, 2023-2025).

Mainly did this to top up the apprenticeship income and keep in touch with colleagues I actually like.

Somehow managed to juggle it all without sacrificing sleep, gym, or a social life. (social life is the lie)

DipHE Computer Science - Manchester Metropolitan University

(September 2019 - May 2022)

During my time at MMU - I have undertaken the fundamentals of computer science

I learnt to program in Java, C++ , C# , SQL and Python as well as the Web Dev Languages (JS,HTML,CSS) and sadly some PHP

I have also learnt about the theory of computer science as well as mathematics behind it)

Projects included Oracle Databases , Sleep Tracking Mobile App and Making my own compiler

Meadowhead School Academy Trust

(September 2012 - June 2019)
