Miriam Marling

I’m a Toronto-based data researcher with a Master’s in cognitive neuroscience, two peer-reviewed publications, and a public-service role at Statistics Canada.

R is my native analytical language. I’m also using Oracle SQL, APEX, and Python to build BonQuery’s projects end-to-end — database, dashboard, analysis, and writing.

I started BonQuery because so much of the publicly available data on humanitarian issues in Canada sits on government open-data pages where most people will never see it. The first project focuses on Toronto’s taxed shelter system. More to follow.
