## Tips for using this template  

1. **Tailor for ATS** – Use exact keywords from the job description (e.g., “microservices,” “AWS,” “CI/CD”). Keep headings standard (Professional Summary, Skills, Work Experience, Education, Certifications).  
2. **Quantify Impact** – Whenever possible, add numbers (percentages, time saved, users served) to demonstrate measurable results.  
3. **Action Verbs** – Start each bullet with a strong verb (Designed, Implemented, Optimized, Led, Automated, Integrated, Refactored).  
4. **Keep It Concise** – Aim for 1‑2 pages. Remove any bullet that doesn’t add value or relevance to the target role.  
5. **Consistent Formatting** – Use the same date format, bullet style, and font size throughout. Consistency helps both humans and parsers read your resume.  
6. **Link to Work** – Include active links to your GitHub, portfolio, or live projects; ensure they are professional and showcase code quality.  
7. **Proofread** – Run a spell‑check and have a peer review for grammar and technical accuracy.  

*Good luck!*
