1. try to reduce the amount of empty space in the CV 2. I'm not really sure what the distinction between the CV and resume is. It seems like they provide pretty similar (redundant?) information. I never had to write a separate CV and resume myself 3. the formatting of the CV seems somewhat inconsistent. There are line breaks in the programming languages section that seem unintended. The programming languages section header is un-bolded too, which seems like an error. I'm not a fan of the justified paragraph alignment in the last section 4. In the CV, put the most important information at the very beginning. I think employers will be far more interested in your several years of experience (which are are the very end) than your academic info. I would personally do this: contact info & portfolio links at the top, then brief (I don't have one at all, but this is the place to put it), then work experience, then notable personal projects, then academic info, and finally the list of technologies that you know. The proof that you know these technologies should come from the earlier sections of your CV

I'm also a fan of breaking down project contributions into bullet points that feature keywords like tools or techniques used. Since the average reader of your CV will spend only 10 seconds looking at it, they better have a strong impact

Thanks! The idea of showcasing a meaningful project that proves my expertise in x or y technology as a project section might work quite good. I kind of have that but only on my personal page

Everything fit on 1 page. 2-3 pages are intended only for people with a deep scientific education and a large number of publications. Gather your experience over the last 3-5 years. Recruiters are not very interesting when you were a junior 5 years ago. Focus on things you have B+ confidence in.
