If you work with software in the IT industry in general, there are a multitude of paths you might take as you gain experience in different areas. It’s useful to be able to chart your journey, and to identify gaps so that you can make informed decisions about future steps along the way.

The Org Roam [Software Engineer] Career Path project aims to support individual growth by providing supporting infrastructure for navigating your personal story.

Org Roam is a knowledge management tool based loosely on tools such as Roam Research, Zettlekasten, and other techniques that allow you to map knowledge using a growing set of linked notes. Org Roam in particular runs using Org Mode which is a feature of Emacs, a completely free programmable text editor.
