Strong on the core stack (React, TypeScript), but the scrambled layout buried half your bullets and the parser never found your email or degree. Fixing the format alone would lift this score sharply.
Issues the bot would hit
✕
Email address wasn't detected
Your email sits inside a header/text box, which many parsers skip entirely. An ATS that can't read your email can't contact you — the application is effectively dead on arrival.
Fix: Put your email on a normal text line at the top of the document, not in a header, footer, or text box.
✕
Two-column layout scrambled your experience
A naive line-reading parser read straight across both columns, interleaving your skills sidebar into the middle of your job bullets. The result is unreadable to the machine.
Fix: Switch to a single-column layout. It looks plainer to you, but it's what every parser reads cleanly.
!
2 images detected
Text rendered as an image (logos, a skills graphic) is invisible to an ATS. Any skills shown only in the graphic won't be counted.
Fix: Replace image-based text with real, selectable text.
!
1 table detected
Tables are read inconsistently across ATS platforms — some flatten them in the wrong order.
Fix: Lay out information in plain lines instead of table cells.
