At first glance, very aesthetic resume.

There are lots of potential improvements.

Change Major: Computer Science to something like BSc. in Computer Science. Change to Expected: May 2026. Keep it concise. Nit: add a period after all your dates, and make them consistent, June -> Jun.

Could you expand a bit more on "conducting adversarial attacks"? It sounds like you're trying to infiltrate the system (like ethical hacking?) but it's phrased maliciously. Need more metrics for the first experience. The third bullet is highly technical, I don't fully understand it. Ideally, use technical keywords but describe your experience in a way parsable by a recruiter. E.g. what is "gradient-based minimal perturbations?" Also - what is the business impact of all these investigations?

For first LLM researcher bullet, what does processing prompts achieve for the business? Is sEntiment a typo? Last bullet for LLM researcher does not demonstrate software engineering skills. My main complaint for your first 2 experiences is a lot of technical achievements with minimal business impact substance. I want to know WHY you are doing these technical things.

Your first bullet in your third experience is almost providing this WHY justification, but it reads like a list. Don't cram that much into a single bullet. Same comment for the seocnd sentence. You are cramming in too much unrelated / poorly correlated information into the same bullet. Keep it more concise, don't overcompensate with verbosity.

Projects need a lot more metrics. The way that you describe your projects is more clear than the way you describe your experience - i.e. generally more substantive. Bullets under your first project feel long-winded. You could say the same with less fluff. Second bullet for your second project describes a set of features, but this isn't really necessary - provide this at a high level. Third project seems interesting, but connect the three bullets into a cohesive story.

second project, while it covers the react, express, etc. base, doesn't really stand out in terms of what it does

really not convinced the coursework helps you here
