Starting to look for Entry/NewGrad/Junior level positions and wanted some help with improving my resume. Any feedback is appreciated 🙂

Use smaller spacing so you can fit another project or 2

Education: If your GPA is good (3.5+) put it here. If not, move the Education section all the way to the bottom. Actually, even if your GPA is good, I'd still consider moving it to the bottom.
Work Experience: Your bullets start with good strong action verbs but none of them come with a metric so they come off sounding weak. 1-2 bullets with good metrics is always better than 3 fluff ones without. This is the section you should focus most of your time on. Everything else looks OK.
Projects: Looks good.
Skills: Looks good. Consider moving higher, above work experience.
Awards: I wouldn't have this whole section for a single award. Add this to your education section. It'll help spice it up if you can't put your GPA there.
Overall:
Something looks off on the font. Recommend Arial, Calibri, or Garamond if not already. Don't italicize or all caps the job titles. Actually, don't italicize anything. Recommend using a standard template to make it easy. Search for: pragmatic engineering resume template.

i noticed you use different shades of black, have you considered just using all black? the light shades of grey can make the dates hard to read. Also, i believe the dates for your school are in a slightly different formatting compared to the rest of your work experience dates - you can make them all use the same style for dates.

You are going to be applying for new grad roles? Why not make this clear for recruiters by putting your education first? You are graduating may 2022 and are going for the new grad roles - it would make it simple and fast for recruiters to understand this. Thoughts?
You can also remove the bulletpoint under your degree. I don't really see the value for recruiters to know you were awarded "computer science science of the year for work ethic...".
