I see a few grammatical errors, "i". The "Subnero" link is broken by the way, might want to point it to the correct spot. If you use google link, I would suggest doing analytics tracking to see how many times its clicked (this gives you a good indication fo how many people read your resume)
I imagine this is for datascience jobs, the things that stood out to me the most were
- youtube links to actual talks is very good
- 1% kaggle is really hard to get
- actual publications
otherwise it looks perfectly fine. Make sure the PDF is OCR readable, and make sure there is an accompaning .docx format as well
>> I see a few grammatical errors, "i"
Do you mean I'm using small-letter "i" somewhere? I triple-checked, but can't seem to find that anywhere?
>> If you use google link, I would suggest doing analytics tracking to see how many times its clicked
That's a great idea!
>> The "Subnero" link is broken by the way
Thanks for catching that!

I suspect its not OCR readable, and there is no .docx version either - the disadvantages of making your resume with Latex!
ah okay you made it in latex. I always run my PDF's through Adobe Acrobat Pro X for OCR recognition. CTRL+F some words on there to see if it works. You want to ensure if it is OCR because it's going to be scraped for content through HR processors. That's why I recommended .docx format as well, granted that also let's headhunters delete your email address.
Pandoc has a latex to pdf converter, I imagine this is what you used
Also, you might want to change the resume name a bit differently. You wrote down "shankar_resume_cto.pdf". You might not be applying to a CTO position and might be taken as a threat to someone's existing CTO position.
By the way, you should really link your kaggle profile on there if you really are in the top 1%. Gives recruiters no doubt that you are actually what you say you are.
Ah - thanks, its amazing how I tend to become "blind" to errors in my own writing!
Great point about the "cto" suffix! I once applied for a CTO position, and saved the tailored version of my resume at that time with a "cto" suffix. Since then I have been using modified versions of that resume, but I must get rid of the suffix now.
I held the top 1% rank in 2014. I'm not active on Kaggle anymore. They have since changed the way they calculate rankings, and you lose your rank if you don't stay active. As a result, while I still have my Kaggle profile, its now unranked. I figure its easier to explain this when asked, rather than link to a profile page that seems to contradict the claimed achievement.
Resume looks perfectly fine though,I didn't checkout your linkedin profile under your username but I assume it looks similar
