I played soccer ⚽ professionally for a number of years in countries such as Germany 🇩🇪 and Canada 🇨🇦 . Following my soccer career, I attended and graduated from the University of British Columbia. While I was finishing my last year in University, I joined the Vancouver Whitecaps FC (Major League Soccer) as an analyst. Throughout my time with the Whitecaps, I developed a strong passion for learning new technologies. As a result, I decided to shift into the Data Science industry. I am currently working at Opeeka as a data science intern and am enrolled in the University of Denver's Data Science Master's program. My love for analyzing big data, coding, and my willingness to help other people have shaped me as a person and help me reach my career goals.
I am fluent in Farsi, German and English. While I am not working on any projects or studying, I spend time with my family 👨👨👧👦 , in the gym 💪 , play soccer 🏃♂️ ⚽ or read data science blogs 📰 . I truly believe that there is nothing more beautiful in life than learning new skills and reinventing yourself to become better as every day passes.
