What makes this ATS-safe

Languages and frameworks listed as plain text for keyword matching.
Experience bullets pair stack names with shipped outcomes.
Single-column layout — no code blocks or syntax highlighting as images.
Agile, CI/CD, and cloud terms appear in context, not only in skills.
Standard headings so parsers map roles to work history fields.
