can drop summary

#

i would increase font size by a point or two, u have the space for it

#

not sure how much “first class finish predicted” is mattering since resume is meant to showcase accomplishments that are done already, not things that may or may not happen

#

not a deal breaker by any means but just some food for thought

#

“Implemented a content creation feature to populate user information into necessary fields, using HTML, …, resulting in XY% decrease in time to complete onboarding tasks.”

#

“developed an interactive map…” cool feature but why did u make this? what benefit did creating this have

#

last bullet in internship is unnecessarily wordy, can be cut down by saying something along the lines of “Built a map template for the open-source library, X, reducing time to manifest map data by AB%.”

make sure u include numbers or “proof” of your claims. Youre claiming great reductions but what are u basing this off of? how do u know there were reductions in the first place? how do u know they were great and big ?

#

drop IDEa from skills

#

what experience do u have with AWS ?

#

what experience do u have with GCP?

#

what experience do u have with C and C++?

#

last bullet in last project can also be made more concise by following the same idea from above solutions

sorry for the million ping replies I forgot to turn them off...

#

I have also gone to a hackathon but I worked solo

#

I assume references don't really matter? Haven't seen anyone else use them, I also have a letter of recommendation

Also you didn't mention anything about transfering stuff from the old CV so I imagine nothing is required?

Here is the updated version with most of your suggestions, I am not sure what else to fill the gaps with unless some of the questions I already have above will be able to complete the gap remaining.

#

I increased the font by a point but I couldn't do more as the current thing I am using on overleaf doesn't allow for more, worst case scenario I just try and fix it later.
