Metrics are bullshit, you don't really need to add them - I've only added maybe one or two metrics to my resume and got flooded with interviews, and that's literally just "run thousands of times per day".
- Get rid of the blue, just use black and white. Also remove the weird horizontal lines above and below your contact information (it's also recommended to use a personal email)
- Font and formatting is all over the place and somewhat sloppy. "Graduating in June 2025" is way too large and seems like a different font. There's extra spacing before "Overnight Stock Market Heat Map", and I would personally move the bullet points farther to the left.
- Coursework should go underneath your education to make it more prominent, and personally I put university on the top and degree on the bottom.
- Bullet points should be one line max each, break them up if you have to, and also please remove the random bolding you have of keywords and stuff.
- Remove the fluff from your bullet points, for instance your very first one can just be "Modernized credit card processing microservices, enabling shorter time to market and faster integration with internal channels". They should also follow the STAR format if possible, some of them sound completely wonky like "Embedded programming with C on [...]" and "Scripting with Python/Pandas"
- Elaborate on your experience and projects. For instance for your Robin options, did you display your data using a dashboard or just through the console? What tedious tassk did you automate, and how did you automate them?
- I would personally throw "Previously Received Interim Secret Clearance" right underneath your name / contact info depending on what job you're applying for
