# experience

## Purpose
One YAML file per employer — the canonical record of each role Prad has held. Templates draw experience bullets from here; nothing is generated.

## Key Files
| File | Description |
|------|-------------|
| `sonr.yml` | Co-Founder / CEO at Sonr (2021–). Richest entry — DIDs, WebAuthn, Matrix, Cosmos L1, fundraising. Lists 7 project refs. |
| `britetwist.yml` | Consumer mobile work (1M+ downloads era). |
| `leidos.yml` | Defense/government engineering. |
| `hobsons.yml` | Earlier engineering role. |
| `unissant.yml` | Earlier engineering role. |

## Schema
```yaml
title: Co-Founder / CEO          # role title
company: Sonr
start: 2021-03-01                # ISO YYYY-MM-DD; omit end: for Present
end: 2020-12-01                  # optional
location: New York, USA
profile-heading: ...             # optional one-liner
description: |                   # block scalar of "- " bullets
  - Bullet…
skills:                          # canonical names, reused across files
  - React Native
projects:                        # relative refs into ../projects/
  - ../projects/beam-chat.yml
```

## For AI Agents

### Working In This Directory
- `projects:` and any cross-refs use relative paths (`../projects/<name>.yml`). Keep valid on rename/move.
- Skill names must match the canonical spelling used elsewhere (`Decentralized Identifiers (DIDs)`, `WebAssembly (WASM)`) so they dedupe across files.
- `description` bullets are the raw pool; templates condense them to fit one page — do not assume verbatim use.

### Testing Requirements
```bash
python3 -c "import yaml; yaml.safe_load(open('<file>.yml'))"
```

## Dependencies
### Internal
- Referenced by `../projects/*.yml` via `associated-with`; consumed by `../../src/*.tex` by hand.
