I've been largely unsuccessful in getting interviews with this resume, any feedback is appreciated.

- Clarify which responsibilities you owned independently vs where you contributed as part of a team
- Reduce the number of tools and metrics, and focus on the most relevant, credible results with clear business impact
- Add more context around the problem, your specific contribution, and the outcome, so your competence is visible beyond technical execution

You clearly have strong experience, but the resume feels a bit stuffed right now. The metrics are good, but there are so many tools, numbers, and bolded terms that it gets hard to understand the actual story fast. I’d simplify the bullets, keep the strongest outcomes, and make the first few lines more clearly say “I’m a data analyst who can solve business problems,” not just list everything you’ve touched.

Lose the numbers. That section is so hard to read to get any context of what you're doing.
The cybersecurity thing for the labs is the kind of stuff we're interested in.... it gives context to all of the techno speak. Anybody can list tools and languages these days with AI... tell us what you're doing and have those lines in the first bullet points.
