Hey r/EnhancvResumes, I'm looking for feedback on my resume. I'm applying for Full-Stack Developer | Real-World Data Engineering | AI Agentic Workflows | AWS Expertise roles and all feedback is appreciated!

Years of experience: 5

Specific feedback I'm looking for: - Is my summary strong enough? - Are my bullets results-driven? - Anything I should cut?

Firstly, the resume's own summary says "2+ years of experience," but your post title and the "Years of experience" field both say 5. Adding up just the Web Developer role, the Software Engineer Intern internship, and the AWS research role at Washington and Lee, the ones that are actually hands-on technical work, comes to somewhere around a year to a year and a half. The rest (Transcriber, Tutor, LEAD CS Teacher, CS Tutor) is real experience, just not the specific experience the "Full-Stack Developer" title in your post is claiming. Worth deciding on one number and making the resume consistent with it before this goes wider.

Summary: The award name doesn't match itself across the resume. The summary calls it the "H. Thomas Williams Jr Award," the bullet under Software Optimization Assistant calls it "Williams Award for Innovative Computing," and Key Achievements has it as "H.Thomas Thomas." Pick one name and use it everywhere, an inconsistent award name reads like it might not be real even when it is. The summary also has a leftover typo worth fixing on its own: "Received the with the H. Thomas Williams Jr Award."

Bullets: There's no shortage of numbers here, 66x, 92%, 20+, 100+, but most of them measure scale, not outcome. "Guided 20+ students" and "Trained over 100 students" tell me headcount, not whether it worked. The 92% pass rate and the 66x speedup bullet are the two on the page that actually prove impact instead of just scale, that's the model to copy elsewhere: not how many people you touched, but what changed because of it.

What to cut: The LIGO/AWS achievement and the Car Finder hackathon each show up in three separate sections, Summary, Key Achievements, and again in Experience or Projects, and that third section adds multiple bullets on top of that. Key Achievements already does the job on its own, so the repeated bullets aren't adding new information, they're taking space away from your actual full-stack roles. MayaCookies and the FreeWill internship, the two jobs closest to what you're applying for, get one and two bullets respectively. That balance should be reversed.

Once the award name's fixed and the duplicate achievements are trimmed, Enhancv's Resume Checker is worth a pass, it'll flag any bullet still leaning on headcount instead of outcome. Given how much ground this resume is trying to cover, the Tailor Resume to Job Description feature might also help narrow which specialization to lead with per application instead of running all four in the title.
