{
  "overall_score": 29,
  "summary": "The resume shows early-career backend, cloud, and IoT/edge ML project experience with hands-on CI/CD and serverless work. It does not demonstrate the senior-level (8+ years) experience or explicit GenAI/LLM, gRPC, GraphQL, and large-scale observability experience requested for the L5 GenAI Platform role. There is evidence of relevant technical aptitude and small-to-midsize system design work but limited alignment with the role’s scale and specific GenAI stack requirements.",
