*Hello, friend. Hello, friend? That's lame.* I'm Yad, an indie researcher, previously worked at the **NEAR Foundation** as a Data Engineer / Applied Researcher. Areas of research interests are: - Learning To Learn. (broad, cognitive sciences) - Program Synthesis (ƛ) / Low-Rank Tensor Approximation. (specific) - Cybersecurity, offensive security and malware-analysis. (broad, security) - Indie Research. (broad, economics) - Understanding The Nature Of Conversations. (broad, linguistics) If I'm not writing open source code or chasing down bad guys on the Inaaanet. Then most I'm probably on a stage somewhere performing the art of standup comedy.
