# Kyan Yang

Hey, I'm Kyan, a cs + math student at Stanford. I'm interested in rhetoric, work automation, and culture, among other things.

For the past few years, I've prioritized seeking out-of-distribution experiences and expanding the sample of data from which I can draw conclusions.

This has led to stints across engineering, biography writing, venture scouting, and
behavioral research, as well as a first place award at TreeHacks.

Currently I'm at [Mintlify](https://mintlify.com), learning what goes into growing a product and brand.
