That's great feedback, I appreciate it thank, you. The monospace font and raw markdown syntax are my attempt at a "unique design" and a bit of "personal brand." I'm torn as to whether or not it's too distracting and needs removed or if it adds a bit of personal touch/interest and I can keep it.
I'll definitely look at coming up with some more metrics and see if I can translate them to direct business value. I think that's a really good though.
And I think you're right on the "experience with" section. My goal was to show that I like to learn new things/languages and express an interest/openness to working with them, but the last thing I want to do is come across like I'm padding my resume. I'm sure I could be productive with them after a quick ramp-up, but I don't want to be phony either.
I definitely resonate and respect wanting to have a resume with some personality. Maybe limit the monospace to your name across the top, the headings and anything bolded? Just want to keep the body text readable. Maybe use a body font that's just not like Ariel or Helvetica for a little "oomph" I especially like the Google fonts which give a bit of uniqueness while still staying incredibly readable
I also really get the challenge in the "experience with" section. Especially when you're transitioning careers, it's tough to show "this is what I want to work on" and not getting shoehorned into only what you've already worked on. It's hard to communicate "I've done X for Y years, but I want to work on Z"
Maybe include data or lines that emphasizes how quickly you pick up tech? "Delivered ABCv1 in only X weeks after ramping up on Y language"

Mmm. That's a good compromise on both counts. I'll definitely look at that. Thanks for the detailed help!
