About

Professional

• I am a software engineer, primarily interested in a mix of backend, data, and infrastructure engineering.
• I work at Recursion on the Data Platforms team. Basically, I build the infrastructure with which "data stuff" happens.
• Prior to Recursion, I worked as a software engineer at Cohere, focusing on finetuning.
• I write most of my code in Go, Python, and Terraform. However, I'm always interested in learning new languages and technologies.

Personal

• My full name is pronounced key-yawn mayr. My first name is Arabic and means "being" or "existence".
• I live in downtown Toronto with my spouse-to-be.
• I'm of Black Jamaican and Gujarati Indian descent. Naturally, I love spicy food.
• I am gender non-conforming and use singular they pronouns. I prefer not to make a big deal out of it.
• When I'm not working, I'm usually hanging out with friends, reading technical content, exploring Wikipedia rabbit holes, trying not to burn dinner, taking pictures, hiking mountains, or attending tech meetups. I also like music, tea, plants, and spreadsheets.
• I do (very stereotypically) have a fancy keyboard and a fancy pen, but for purely ergonomic reasons. :)
