i dont want to be overtly mean, but your resume is really lackluster and there is a lot of empty space.

#

for your current internship, you should hopefully be able to make atleast 3 bullet points given we are in july and you started in may

#

also for all your projects, you only have 1 bullet points which isnt enough. you probably did a lot more work than those singular bullet points give you credit for

#

you can also shrink the whitespace of inbetween all your bullet points using, idk if your using latex but \vspace{-0.3pt} is goated

#

if there is more stuff on your resume, the more hits you can potentially get through ats. obviously theres a limit to this because you dont want to make it unreadable if a human looks over your resume, but you could just put more on there

#

maybe throw in an additional 1-2 projects if you have enough space

Get rid of the blue

#

Search up resumes.fyi for better quantifiable things and sentence structure

#

I’d pick 2 projects and expand on what you did, 1 bullet for 3 projects just makes them all look vague and weak

#

The empty space is fine, don’t need to pack it full of words if it’s not adding anything

#

I would get rid of student society member listed like that, it looks odd. maybe add some coursework that you can customize for each role you apply to

#

get rid of the blue like allicai said

#

you can also bold more words, any framework or language or tech lango you can practically bold, ex. AWS, S3, E2, Docker, BFF, MVC, Lambda,

#

include your gpa on your resume, i think its kinda standard at this point

#

you can also include coursework in your education section, DSA, operating system, etc.

#

the 'graduating' for your grad date is unnecessary, just put apr 2027

#

also probably use a resume template, the font size feels way bigger than it needs to be (maybe drop it to 11pt if it isnt already)
