Sam Sohrabpour
Profile
Sam Sohrabpour is a Software Engineer. A major part of his career has been in the tech industry, gaining experience in areas such as programming, testing, and deploying microservices that uses machine learning solutions. While data scientist and back-end developer are his primary job functions, Sam also enjoys Web development and web design.
Sam has his bachelor’s in Computer Science and master’s in computer science specializing in algorithms, languages, and logic from Chalmers University of Technology. During his studies he has worked with real-time systems and also ported the aforementioned microservice from windows to linux. He is curious about the extra functionality that migrating to the Linux operating system would enable user to achieve with an API standard such as GigE Vision.
The majority of the projects he has worked on have used intuitive agile frameworks like Kanban. However, he has a certified Scrum Master and have taken a DevOps course, so he would still be well informed on how everything functions, if he was required to work with those frameworks.
As one of Njorders, he started his first assignment with an inhouse project
Personal
Sam born and raised in Karlstad. His interest to video games brought him to learn how to do programming. Not long after that, he moved to Gothenburg with parents, and he spent the rest of his childhood to learn programming.
When he is not programming, he likes to spend time watching Planet Earth 2, Chernobyl, and he likes to spend time with his parents and sister too. He has recently become an uncle and as he loves to teach, we see that he can’t wait to teach his nephew a lot of new things.
