there are zero languages in ur top 2 experiences

#

Worked on RDS…

  • tbh nobody really cares what team you worked on and the average recruiter has no idea what this sentence will even mean
#

hell i work at amazon and idek what it means

#

Spearheaded codebase wide…

  • can probably break this bullet into multiple if possible to try snd explain more in depth about what exactly was refactored, how it was refactored, what language(s) were used, and metrics (less API calls probably means less latency so include that)
#

Led the design for the introduction…

  • what benefits did this design have?
#

worked on support for timezone..

  • is it just the screenshot or is this bullet actually look different on the resume ?
  • i dont really understand the point of this bullet point. Wdym you worked on support for timezone agnostic operations? like you contributed code to make it so ur service could handle these operations?
  • what does suspended customers mean in this case?
#

Implemented server-side APIs

  • using …?
  • for what purpose did u need this content?
#

Launched APIs as services in a live…

  • Maybe say which AWS services you used ? you and i both know aws has 1 billion services, so explicitly saying which ones u have experience with can help recruiters and it may also help with hitting keywords and what not
#

last 2 experiences are pretty meh and general, doesnt really tell anybody toooo much of anything

Those are pretty good points. Would you say I should drop some of the old internships to add more content to the recent experiences or should I try to keep the same experiences but try to reformat them all to fit in one page still?

if you need to drop old experience to add better content in more recent experience then yeah i would do that
