<!-- 
  This is the resume variant of cv-example.md. 
  In the US tech industry, "resume" (1–2 pages, targeted) is the standard term,
  while "CV" typically refers to the longer academic variant.
  career-ops supports both — use whichever fits your target market.
  This example is intentionally concise (1 page) to demonstrate the resume format.
