If I was a recruiter, I would read your resume and think "ok awesome you did all these things, but so what?" You need to sell yourself by showing the impact of your work. You built some DGCP tool to debug and visualize, but what did this achieve? How does it help the team/company? You should revisit your bullet points and try to answer that question. It would be even better if you could add percentages or some measure of your impact too. You implemented a feature that enhanced router performance. Awesome, but idk if you improved it by 0.5% or 80%. You should look into the X Y Z method.
