As read in the title, I found this amazing CV online. It organizes each section neatly with very pleasant layouts. Do you know what template it uses?

2Welcome to TeX.SE. Have you considered contacting Alexander Wong directly? After all, his contact information is easy to find... – Mico Feb 12 '24 at 05:18

I doubt there's any good way to determine the template from the PDF output alone. Plus, the author might've created his CV from scratch, without the use of a template. – bonk Feb 12 '24 at 05:23

Welcome. // By structure this is pretty much an ordinary document, e.g. based on the article class. So just write your CV with that and fine-tune appearance later. E.g. use some package from here https://ctan.org/topic/headings to change sections, fonts etc. After all, you should be fluent enough with standard LaTeX, e.g. from a book on this subject. This one will bring you a long way towards this CV: https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/LaTeX . – MS-SPO Feb 12 '24 at 06:39

Referring to my comment here's one way to do it. As you will see, this CV is just a regular document, where I put sometimes dummy-text, sometimes copies from the CV you linked to.
View this answer as an intermediate step of the total journey:
- write an ordinary document (sketched)
- do some finetuning on fonts, layout etc. (in progress)
- finalize (to be done)
Preamble
Package hyperref is very versatile. It lets you set document properties (check with a pdf-viewer), link color (i.e. TOC color) etc.
booktabs is a recommended style, if you'd go for a book. Just compare the more professional look of the table compared to a word processor.
I introduced some macros as shortcuts. Not only for demonstration you'll see both, a manual entry and a standardized one from deriving and using such macros.
Layout you still have to adjust, like setting paper format and margins. Use package geometry for this purpose.
Set your default font here. See e.g. answer from Lev Bishop or Font typefaces on Overleaf.
Intermediate result
Titlepage
Just use the titlepage environment and typeset this page. There are many ways to do it. Here I deliberately ignored variables \author, \title etc.
Sections with rules
There are many ways to obtain them. See e.g. (ignoring) Komascript , some custom style, etc.
For the "EDUCATION ..." I just used a lazy approach. There are many ways to obtain the tablular-like list of universities. E.g. you could use a table, but there's little common structure to it, demanding for a complicated table-set. So I choosed a lazy approach again, which can't be refactored easily into a \newcommand ... which origines from the authors non-systematic approach.
Reserach interest ...
and elsewhere are simply nested lists, without need to fine-tune layout to match the original.
However, watch my REMARKs within the code, below.
Selected ... presentations
It can be typeset as an enumerated list with some redefinition. If you'd spend more effort, you could even remove the trailing .; however, it doesen't hurt much.
Awards ...
shows you the direct (inlie) typesetting as well as its refatoring into a macro. However, the format chosen in the original may not be the most legible one. However, kindly see the effect on the source code, where both entries have the same effect:
