quasi granite
#

this is the best resume I have ever seen

leaden hazel
#

Instead of "fleeting" use the word ephemeral

radiant pine
#

leaden hazel
#
  • Nitpick: for education I would put a bullet before "CS Coursework", "Math Coursework", and "Note"
radiant pine

  • How is your TedTalk Search Engine scalable?
#

What metrics do u hav 2 bak dat up

radiant pine
#

hmm i mean I used Apache spark to query the sharded database

#

but I guess I could make that clearer

leaden hazel
#
  • I don't like the wording of "Leveraged MySQL to persist site data..." You're just saying you used a database. Instead I would focus on the fact that you have thousands of users
#
  • Personal Suggestion: bold metrics. I like to bold metrics on my resume.

“Persisted relationships between thousands of users, comments, posts using MySQL”

leaden hazel
#

imo its too cluttered with frameworks and libs bundled with language

radiant pine
#

oke oke

leaden hazel
#

radiant pine
#
