Quick Fixes:

  1. You don't need to put Intellij and VS Code in your skills - that's implied. I would rather highlight any cloud technologies you used (AWS? Docker?).
  2. Put "Work Exp" above "Skills". That matters much more and you have a good amount of internship experience.
  3. Follow standard capitalization customs for technologies. It's AngularJS, not Angular JS. This looks like bad attention to detail. It's Sentiment Analysis, not Sentimental Analysis. It's Extracurriculars, not Extra Curricular. Just Google any terms to find standard usage. There's a bunch of other ones.
  4. You can have Languages and Web Technologies on different lines in your Skills section since that bullet point looks overcrowded. It also doesn't make sense to group OS and DBs together. I don't know if you need to mention Linux. but if you, also mention MacOS and make it a different line in Skills.
  5. Write Master's of Science in Computer Science (and the same for B.S). It might get parsed better and adds more clarity.

Content Fixes: (For the first experience)

  1. For your first experience, are the first and second bullets talking about the same experience? I would combine those two, and remove the "measured by google chrome....rendered all at once." portion. The chunking part implies that things weren't being rendered all at once anymore. Mentioning there was a decrease in latency implies that latency was logged in some way (it doesn't matter exactly what way) and now it has been reduced. Also, is there a specific technology you leveraged to achieve chunking? I would mention that if so.
  2. As a corollary to that: latency is easily measurable. How are you measuring the 70% increase in efficiency? That is not immediately obvious to me. Was there 70% decrease in latency there as well? I would avoid having numbers on there that don't represent anything specific. You can talk about how the application got faster, or something.
  3. I would phrase the last bullet point better. You repeat "search, copy, and delete" twice in the same sentence which isn't really necessary.

Will add more later

Overall, you have good experience and interesting projects - I think you should talk them up more!

Wow thank you @summer swan for such a comprehensive review. I will definitely take these into consideration. Thank you! I do realize that some things make it look like I did not pay attention to detail. Thank you again!
