Quantify your achievements

High

"Led a team" reads weaker than "Led a 6-person team that reduced onboarding time by 30%." Add numbers wherever possible.

Experience

Add a Professional Summary

High

No summary section detected. A 2–3 line summary at the top increases ATS keyword density and gives recruiters instant context.

Summary

Expand your Skills section

Medium

Your skills list is thin. Mirror the exact phrasing from the job description — ATS matches on exact keywords, not synonyms.
