Do you have a good LaTeX template for it. I did make a data driven based LaTeX pdf for my resume but it’s a nightmare when applying for jobs these days, since they have that ATS parser nonsense, which will throw the entire resume down if it isn’t as very plain and boring word document without much formatting.

It depends heavily on region. I personally don't think I ever had issues with parsers. I used the awesome CV template as a base. It's fairly simple while still not being completely boring. You can find it on GitHub or overleaf iirc (it's been a while).

Overleaf probably has a template.

Overleaf have hundreds of them. The problem is not the availability or using them. The problem is before your resume reaches a human, it is filtered via a ATS parser and generally it doesn’t like any fancy formatting. So unless your resume is machine readable, it automatically trashes your resume out.

I was vehemently sitting on my Data driven LaTeX typeset resume for months but didn’t have much success until I took a plain old word template and ported everything there. It is what it is.

Ever see StirlingPDF? You can just get it into a PDF then make sure it is compatible with that tool. It's a Swiss Army Knife.
