🎧 I just listened to an inspiring episode of the CoRecursive podcast about Yann Collet, who taught himself compression algorithms and created LZ4 as a hobby. I really enjoyed his story. Check it out and explore other episodes as well, it's a great podcast: podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/

I am a retired data scientist specializing in data compression as a tool for language model evaluation. I have a Ph.D. from Florida Tech in 2003 and still live in Melbourne FL, USA. I retired from Ocarina and Dell in 2014 where I developed custom compression algorithms for genomic, seismic, and animation data and the open source PAQ and ZPAQ compression software. Interested in CrossFit, running, triathlon, yoga, and world travel with Karen.
