Software Engineer Resume Example
Based on Michael Lee’s resume, built with the Minimal template
A single-column, ATS-friendly resume for backend and full-stack roles.
Why this works
- Single column with standard headings, so it parses cleanly through automated screening before a human ever sees it
- Technical skills are listed plainly, not buried in a sidebar or graphic an ATS might skip
- Bullets lead with what changed as a result of the work — processing time, incident rate — not just the task
