Technical Resume Template
Monospace · Skills-first · Engineering
The Technical template is built for developers, and it shows. Monospace typography (the font family of every code editor) signals that you live in technical environments. A left-side accent bar on section headers creates clean visual hierarchy without tables or complex CSS that would break ATS parsers. Critically, the Skills section is pinned at the top - immediately after contact info - because for engineering roles, your technology stack is the first filter. Can you code in Python? Do you know AWS? The recruiter wants to know before reading anything else. Projects follow in prominent position, with space for GitHub links, tech stack tags, and impact bullets.

Frequently asked questions
Why does this template put Skills before Work Experience?
For technical roles, your tech stack is the primary filter. Recruiters and ATS systems check for specific languages, frameworks, and tools before evaluating experience. Placing Skills first ensures your technology matches are visible immediately - especially important for roles that screen for Python, Java, React, AWS, or similar.
Is this template suitable for FAANG or product startup applications in India?
Yes. The Technical template's clean, scannable layout works for Flipkart, Razorpay, Zepto, Swiggy, and similar product companies. For top FAANG applications (Google, Amazon, Microsoft India), pair this template with strong achievement bullets - 'Led a 6-member team to deliver X, reducing latency by 40%' - not just responsibility descriptions.
Does the monospace font cause issues with ATS parsing?
No. ATS software extracts text content regardless of font family. The monospace font is only a visual choice for the PDF that human reviewers see. The underlying HTML structure remains ATS-parseable with standard semantic elements.
