Kousha Talebian

Hey there! 👋 I'm Kousha! I'm an Iranian Canadian who builds technology that actually matters (or at least tries to).

My journey started in Physics and Biomedical Engineering, but I quickly realized I craved something faster-paced. After univeristy, I moved to San Francisco, slept on my friend's coach for two weeks until I found my first job, and I loved fast-pace market software engineering and San Francisco offered.

I actually got into coding in the most unexpected way: Neopets. Yes, you read that right. My coding career began with crafting HTML pages for my digital companion, and honestly, it was love at first div. Later in university, I discovered I could fund my entire four-year university education by building and managing websites for student clubs. Who knew that pet page skills would translate into real-world value?

These days, when I'm not deep in code, you'll find me in my kitchen—which looks more like a gadget graveyard than a place to cook. I'm passionate about culinary experimentation and fermentation, though I should mention I've sacrificed more than a few jars to the fermentation gods (my neighbors can attest to the occasional explosive sound effects).

I'm also a travel enthusiast with 35+ countries under my belt, always hunting for new flavors, perspectives, and the random friends I make in the most unexpected places.

Currently, I'm diving deep into AI research, specifically exploring how to secure Agent-to-Agent communication.
