My name is Kiyan Mair and I am a recent computer science graduate. I just completed an AI summer lab at Mila where I won the top judged prize for my project. I have solid experience with the SciPy stack and more than 5 years of experience with general Python programming. If you are hiring for entry-level data scientists, data analysts, or similar roles, please contact me at kiyan.mair@protonmail.com and I can send you my resume. I am actively interviewing and open to relocation. If you won't do it for me, please do it for my parents who want me off their couch. :)

As a data scientist or an aspiring one, you may be wondering the state of data science market in GTA. My gift to the community is the KPIs and trends based on the data points collected from Indeed.ca over some months. 

This is part of my research that feeds into my burning desire to connect job seekers with providers and make this process painless for both. I am participating in Startup School by Y Combinator. I created 2 question surveys each for job seekers and recruitersIn return to my gift, I seek input on the surveys to further develop my project.
