Prospective technical writer for GSoD 2021 under NumPy
Hello, I am Ronnie Gandhi, a Computer Science undergrad from IIT Roorkee in my final year.I am interested in working on NumPy's documentation problem statement "HIGH-LEVEL RESTRUCTURING AND END-USER FOCUS - NumPy". I have successfully completed *GSoD2020 <https://developers.google.com/season-of-docs/docs/2020/participants/project-libreoffice-krezhairo>*(my display name is Krezhairo) under *LibreOffice*, I have done* GSoC 2019*, and *2020 *under CGAL, and I have been contributing to open-source development for quite a while. I have also done Data Science internships at *Microsoft*, Hyderabad in 2019 and 2020. I am very well versed with GitHub, git, and CLI tools. Also from my past GSoD2020 experience I know Sphinx, Markdown, reStructuredText, XML as well. In terms of technical writing experience, - Under the Season of Docs 2020 program, I was given an opportunity to populate the wiki pages for the Calc functions of LibreOffice. I updated and populated the wiki pages for 340 of Calc functions in many categories for which the documentation was quite shallow and incomplete on the wiki pages. - For some of the examples of previous technical writing that I have successfully completed in GSoD 2020 under LibreOffice where I edited/populated 340+ sparse wiki pages of Calc functions. Some of the examples are as follows: - https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/Calc_Functions/YIELDDISC - https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/Calc_Functions/CHIDIST - https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/Calc_Functions/SIN - https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/Calc_Functions/DAVERAGE - https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/Calc_Functions/Guidelines If you want to look into more examples, you can find them here: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/Calc_Functions/List_of_Fun... (this is the new link where the "Find Functions" page is shifted sorry for the blank page) - I have also had created the developer docs as a part of my GSoC2019 and GsoC2020 program updating my progress under CGAL org. (some screenshots to the work since it is behind login wall <https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1UtuD_6Hu59hJwdzqumSkVyRJeNcDxT5c?usp=sharing>)(although no important data) For my c++ experience, - My GSoC2019 <https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/archive/2019/projects/4989489175330816/> and GSoC2020 <https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/archive/2020/projects/5667696160538624/> projects were completely in C++ and Qt5 (my display name is Krezhairo). For my python experience, - As a data scientist intern at Microsoft, a large part of my work was in python and jupyter notebook. I have had multiple occasions to use NumPy. My GitHub link: https://github.com/RonnieGandhi I am attaching my detailed resume for your reference. Looking forward to hearing from you soon. Kind regards, Ronnie
