- you should look at standard resume formats, at least for order of sections (so experience first)
- job title doesn't have to be the legal job title within the company. just keep it as "software engineer"
- idk why you put openai gpt under azure. in fact i don't know why you include that as a "skill" at all, it looks oddly specific. better included in experience imo
Thanks for the quick response, I'll remove the opeenai gpt stuff under skills since its already mentioned in the experiences.
Your fintech bullets are genuinely strong, the real dollar figures make a big difference. Few things I'd tweak:
For the title question - I'd just go with "Software Engineer." Internal leveling like "intermediate" or "SE 2" varies so much between companies that it doesn't really signal anything on paper. Plain SE reads clean at 1.5 YOE.
The Flashcard Maker project might not be pulling its weight anymore now that you have 3 real roles with solid metrics. You could either swap it for something more interesting or drop it and use those lines to tighten up your experience bullets. Up to you but imo your experience section is already doing the heavy lifting.
Some of those fintech bullets are running pretty long though, like 3 lines each. Recruiters tend to skim so tighter is better. For example: "Developed all Mastercard, Visa..." could be: "Shipped Mastercard, Visa, and Apple Pay mandate changes across 2 quarters for services processing $120B USD/quarter, ensuring zero compliance disruptions" - Same info, just tighter. The SCA bullet could probably use the same treatment.
Also minor thing - I'd flip your skills and experience sections so recruiters see your fintech role first. And JEST is more of a testing tool than a front-end skill, might want to re-categorize that.
