You've got effectively 2 YoE, 1 page is the rule at your level of experience, and once you have any experience in the field that goes first.
The bigger problem is your bullets aren't great, they're long and full of fluff. Aim for 4-5 bullets for your SWE related roles and no more than 2 lines per bullet.
You should look up the X-Y-Z format for bullets too.

oh, nevermind, I figured out the issue:
You have basically zero actual experience in the field and even if they were interested initially you're easily traceable to some actually horrible social media presence.
Your resume has many dubious claims that do not seem accurate.

Your two startups are projects not actual startups, you vastly exaggerated the scale. Your research experience is also vastly exaggerated.

i literally got money from the government to fund it

#

bro, SO many undergraduate researchers get funded by the government every year, you don't see them claiming they lead a research team, because they didn't

they can call either one of my profs and ask them if they dont believe me

Anyways, I'm no longer going to be replying to this, your artifacts online do not support your claims and any recruiter worth their salt will be highly skeptical about your claims. Many students fall into this same overclaiming trap. Good luck
