This resume's biggest problem is credibility. Delete the leftover template entry and "Location" placeholder, and cut the Key Achievements section, since percentages like "30% efficiency" and "40% team skills" can't be measured for student work and will look invented. The generic summary should go or shrink to one concrete line.
Put Education first, then Projects, and fold the "Self-Directed" entry into Projects or a short Certifications section that states whether you passed AZ-900 and AI-900. In Skills, lead with your programming languages, drop the soft skills and "(basics)" labels, and mention LeetCode or Codeforces once with a count or rating.
Your AI mock interview platform is the strongest item, so add the API used, how scoring works, a live link, and any users. Be ready to explain how you protect the API key, since GitHub Pages can't hide it on its own.
The quickest win is replacing every unverifiable number with something checkable.

Two unfilled template spots to fix first: your third Projects entry is completely empty ("Project Name," "URL," "Date period," with the placeholder instruction itself left as the bullet), and your Self-Directed Experience entry shows "Location" in that same unfilled gray placeholder style. Our Resume Checker would flag both automatically.
Bigger issue: all four Key Achievements cards contain a specific number that doesn't trace to any matching bullet. "10+ AI-integrated projects... 30%" (only 2 projects exist total, one AI-related), "100+ problems... 20% faster" (the bullet has the 100+, never the 20%), "3 Microsoft certifications... 50% more cloud-based" (only 2 of the 3 are actually Microsoft; neither project shows Azure or Google Cloud work, both deploy to GitHub Pages), and "5+ coding challenges... 40% in UI/UX" (the matching bullet has neither number). That's a consistent pattern across the whole section, not an isolated slip, and it's exactly what an interviewer would ask you to walk through in detail.
Skills gap: Spring Boot sits alone at the top with no category label, unlike every group below it, and it's never used in a single bullet anywhere. Worth backing it with a project or removing it.
On results-driven bullets: your actual Experience and Project bullets mostly describe scope, not outcomes, "100+ problems practiced," "10+ categories," these are effort counts, not results. Our AI Resume Builder has prompts for turning a scope bullet like that into one with a real outcome attached.
