Six years of security operations and penetration testing in enterprise environments. I have worked across incident response, threat hunting and secure software lifecycle. I follow a finding through to remediation rather than leaving it in a report.

The Startup Flow template with sample content — shown at true A4 size.

Resume Template

Startup Flow

Tech stack in a full-width band; a project-led body

Build a resume with this template Other templates

Who it suits

mid level, senior roles
Applications sent directly to an employer or by email
Anyone fitting a long career onto one page

Layout: Tech stack
ATS compatibility: Very good
Photo: No photo

Although the page divides into several areas, the sections are built with flex rather than tables and the text layer stays linear, so common parsers take the information in the right order.

There is no photo area; the header stays pure text, so parsers read the name and contact lines without breaking them apart.

Tech stack in a full-width band; a project-led body. The tech stack sits as a full-width band directly under the header, with projects and experience splitting into two columns below. Technical reviewers scan the stack first and look for evidence second; the order follows that habit.

Layout

How the Startup Flow template is built

Knowing how information sits on the page before you pick a template directly affects how your application gets read.

Tech stack grid

The tech stack sits as a full-width band directly under the header, with projects and experience splitting into two columns below. Technical reviewers scan the stack first and look for evidence second; the order follows that habit.

Typography

Body and headings share one sans-serif family, reading equally cleanly on screen and in print.

Section headings

A coloured vertical bar sits to the left of each section heading, so sections are found quickly from the edge of the page.

Use of colour

Colour appears only in fine rules and headings; the rest of the page stays white.

Density

Line spacing and section gaps are tight, built to hold a history with many roles on a single page.

How skills are presented

Skills are grouped as technical, tools and soft, so an employer finds the category they are looking for directly.

When not to choose this template

Applications where a visual portfolio is expected in the document itself
Applications where the employer mandates its own template
Resumes with little content that would otherwise look empty

You can compare the alternatives side by side in the template comparison table.

Frequently asked questions

About the Startup Flow template

Is the Startup Flow template ATS-friendly?

ATS compatibility for this template is rated “very good”. Although the page divides into several areas, the sections are built with flex rather than tables and the text layer stays linear, so common parsers take the information in the right order.

Does the Startup Flow template include a photo?

There is no photo area; the header stays pure text, so parsers read the name and contact lines without breaking them apart. If you are applying to employers who expect a photo, pick one of the templates that carries it as part of the design.

Can I change template later?

Yes. The template is only a presentation layer; what you write is stored separately and carries over intact when you switch.

Will the PDF match this preview?

Yes. The preview and the PDF come from the same component: A4 (210×297 mm), accented characters and a selectable text layer are all preserved.

Can I change the colour in the Startup Flow template?

Yes. The accent colour control in the editor applies to this template too — pick any of the six presets.
