Really clean layout. The 20% latency reduction bullet at Adobe is exactly what recruiters want to see — hard numbers. I'd add one more metric to the second bullet if you can.

Great experience at Adobe. Would love to see how you describe system design challenges — the summary is a bit generic right now. Try leading with your most impressive achievement instead.

The tech stack (Go, TypeScript, React, AWS) is a great combo. I'd move Skills above Education since you have strong industry experience — that's what hiring managers scan first.

Reviewed hundreds of SWE resumes — this one stands out for clarity. One suggestion: mention team size or scope of impact (e.g. 'served 10M users') to give context to your work.
