Stop Getting Rejected by ATS: Free Open-Source LaTeX Resume Template πŸš€

If you are a Software Engineer, you probably know the struggle of formatting a CV. You spend hours designing a beautiful layout, only to find out that the ATS (Applicant Tracking System) couldn't parse your text properly.

As a mobile software engineer, I value Clean Architectureβ€”not just in my Dart/Flutter code, but in how I present my professional experience. That's why I optimized and customized an ATS-Friendly LaTeX Resume Template, and I am open-sourcing it for the community!

✨ Key Features
100% ATS-Ready: Built with \pdfgentounicode=1 to ensure every single word is machine-readable.

Clean & Minimalist Layout: Perfectly aligned sections for Summary, Skills, Projects, Experience, and Education without visual clutter.

AI-Assisted Editing: I included specific prompt instructions in the source code. You can simply copy the LaTeX code, paste it into Gemini or ChatGPT, and ask it to fill the template with your data.

πŸ› οΈ How to Get It
You can find the full source code and instructions on my GitHub repository. Feel free to star the repo, fork it, or contribute!

You will also find it available soon on the Overleaf Gallery!

πŸ’‘ Pro Tip for Devs
Don't clutter your CV with logos, progress bars, or multiple columns. Keep it simple, stick to a single-column layout, and focus on your impact and the technologies you used.

Let me know in the comments if you have any questions or need help setting it up. Happy job hunting! πŸš€
