A lot of people are criticising the condensed nature, lack of whitespace, etc.
A significant part of my job is to review CV's for a living and if I received a CV/Resume in this format, I'd be quite pleased as all the relevant info is easily spotted.
A good resume (with design related roles being an obvious exception) doesn't need to be 'pretty'. It needs to be easy to read and easy to find relevant info at an initial scan. Your template ticks both of those boxes.
I'm sure it could be prettier but when I'm reviewing resumes for engineering positions, I couldn't care less about aesthetics. I care about attention to detail and relevancy.
