only small things i’d say is remove the summary and maybe remove the (proficient) after C++ because that’d make me question if you were proficient in any of the other languages

ur res screams noob ngl

#

if i read this w/o context id think u were in hs

#

get rid of summary

#

get rid of ur achievements they're meaningless

#

dont have a databases section in skills if ur only listing 1 db

#

dont put proficient next to cpp

#

a lot of ur bolding is so random like "fully responsive design"

#

ur bullets are super weak like the above phrase is meaningless

#

the alternative to a responsive design would be an unresponsive one which just means a broken one

#

also no exp at all?

#

no research, no school club officership, no unpaid internships, no dev work at school, no ta work?

#

ur res prolly getting tossed w/o an exp section
