About

My name is Shreyas Ragavan.

What

This wiki has been set up to collect and share information related to companies and job opportunities related to my interest (particularly related to Data Science). I’m based in Canada, and the information is predominantly related to Canada, though I intend to expand this in many ways over time.

My primary goal is to host this material as a ready reference that can be shared with my contacts and others willing to direct me towards better work opportunities. I hope it will eventually help others as well.

Why

I use Emacs for all my workflows and in general store the information you see in this wiki within Org mode documents, integrated with my workflow. This makes it very easy for me to manage.

However, it is often that I have to share a link to the job posting, or share progress updates of my job search with contacts and well wishers. While I can export content from Emacs to static websites or even documentation engines - I’m also obviously quite interested in comments and advice to improve myself.

A blog (whether based on Wordpress or Static generators like Hugo) felt inefficient and constrained for this workflow and was not conducive to sharing and managing information or documentation as much as a wiki can potentially be.

How

This wiki is based on Oddmuse. It is deployed as virtualhost on Apache. Hat tip to bandali on #emacs for directing me towards Oddmuse, which is a pleasure to use and relatively easy to deploy. Visit #oddmuse on Freenode to talk to kensanata, AlexDaniel? and others who drive the development of Oddmuse.
