Kernel resume template
A terminal-dark header for engineers.
Kernel opens with a dark rounded block carrying your name in monospace — a nod to the terminal — while the body stays clean and readable in sans-serif. Section titles get monospace prefixes and dates render in mono, giving the whole document an engineer's precision without sacrificing recruiter readability.

Will Kernel pass applicant tracking systems?
The dark header is a background fill behind real text. Body is single-column with standard headings; monospace styling does not affect parsing.
Every Cvyon template exports through your browser's print-to-PDF, so the text layer stays selectable and searchable — the thing parsers actually read. After downloading, run your resume through our free ATS grader to confirm it scores well before you apply.

Questions about the Kernel template
Will the dark header confuse ATS?
No — it is a solid fill behind real, selectable text. Parsers read your name and title normally.
Is Kernel too niche for non-engineers?
Its terminal flavor is aimed at technical roles. Non-technical candidates should pick a neutral template.
Can I change the header color?
The dark charcoal base is fixed for contrast; your theme color accents the section prefixes and highlights.
