Hey there! 👋
I’m Yad, an indie researcher and internet hacker based in New York. I build things for both fun and profit, and when I’m not coding, you can find me performing standup comedy and contributing to The Library Of Comedy.
What I Do
My expertise spans two main areas:
- Machine Learning: From conceptual modeling to production deployment, I love working on the full ML pipeline.
- Cybersecurity: What started as a hobby years ago has become an integral part of my technical toolkit.
Notable Projects

- NEAR Protocol
