Yaser Zhian Tabasy's Homepage

This is my humble home on the world-wide web. There's not much content here because I haven't got around to put anything interesting on it yet. In the meanwhile, you can check out my weblog over here or email me at y on yaserzt fullstop com.

This has been my homepage from April 2007 (which is not long ago) and I plan to ultimately move all my online-able and share-able information to it. From my movie/music list to my project repositories and my blog. Also, if you are in need of web-space/bandwidth for a FOSS project, or anything that you think I might be interested in, please feel free to contact me. I have some free gigs of space and bandwidth and I hate it to go to waste.

In case it may interest you, I am a computer programmer and a nerd. I write anything from device drivers to web-based 3-tier applications, using x86 assembly, C++ or Python, among other things. I was until recently working as the lead programmer (or as they like to call it "lead developer") for a company that makes real-time 3D simulations and games. I lived in Tehran, Iran. Right now, I have moved back to Mashhad, my home town, to continue my academic studies. I still work for the said company, however only as a consultant. I'm not seeking employment right now, not even a part time job, unless it's really interesting or challenging or high-paying (in that order.)

My areas of interest are:

• Computer graphics
• Computer games development
• Internet-based (web or otherwise) applications (The back ends. I'm not really interested in UIs.)
• High-performance network programs
• Middleware development
• Cryptography and cryptanalysis (as long as someone else handles the math!)
• Any free and open source software development
• Computer programming contests
• Any community- and computer-related activities
• Operating systems development and (to some extent) research
• Any (low-level) system programming projects
• Teaching and holding lectures
