I'd keep going with bolding your hard data/impact in all your bullets for your work experience, you've bolded some but not all. Ensure the things you bold are the hard data (e.g. include some impact for the most recent internship bullet 5 instead of 'Github).
Are you looking for work in the US? I wouldn't bury visa status in your application but that will make the job search process more difficult

give bolding it all a try, whatever you do with the bolding I would do consistently throughout.

Understood on the visa situation. I would be networking my ass off to find companies that routinely sponsor people and work to get access to their recruiters in whatever area you want to be working

@hexed veldt yo, do you see any red flags here? You did review my resume once but ive made a lot of changes since then.

i know im that im intl so im bound to have a hard time recruiting, but even with certain companies that do sponsor, i havent passed resume screen, idk if its just that my resume wasnt seen or if there are any red flags on my resume

International students have it really hard this year unfortunately. Your resume is also full of bloat and too cramped to parse effectively, and I would aim to maximize readability and impact here

I would personally take off coursework and concepts and summary, they're not really adding anything here.

For your experiences, I would focus on ensuring that your biggest contributions to the businesses are highlighted. A log sanitizer (that somehow reduced security vulns?) and automating data stuff are not particularly standout. Your bullets are also a little too trivial (e.g., "made the API endpoint asynchronous", "fixed 10+ UI/UX issues") on that end. I usually reserve your first bullets for highest-impact points.

You've done a fairly decent job at summarizing your projects (although I would prob combine your summary + impact, or bullets 1/2, in your discord bot). I would focus on narrowing this down to index better on your professional experience.

#

Lots of Raleigh jobs are on Java Spring or C# .NET so I would highlight those better instead of masking everything with technologies all over the place - it's prob where you have the best chance at finding internships atm
