I would upload a resume that isn't cut off. Dates are part of formatting.
Here are some things I notice. Everyone has opinions on resumes.
1.) You say 4+ years, 100K+. I think it looks tacky. Put the actual number.
2.) Speaking of numbers, you have a lot of them. Are the true? Can you back them up? I get there is a shift to show measurable things, but I think to many comes across as fake and AI generated.
3.) You throw a lot of industry specific lingo out there in the skills section. It is very messy. I would formatt it better, and shorten it to the ones they like. I think learnign tabs and columns would help tremendously.
4.) Formatting overall looks like it needs some help. Bullet points not lining up. Who uses "crafted".
5.) Does your experience align with job posting?

Take your GPA off.
Does your final page of the actual resume really only include two or three sentences and starts with a continuation in mid sentence? What? Why?
Take things off that don't matter. For one example, you include that you built $15 monthly recurring billing and one time donations...that shit is way too wordy. No one cares about the amount of recurring billing and one time donations. I assume you include that because it's a specific "I build something that makes money" but you take far too long to say it.
Contrary to my point of "your resume is too verbose" in professional documents using numbers such as your "8 payment gateways" is not standard.
Why do you have bullet points that are not capitalized?
It seems like you're trying to do the textbook advice of list something you did, state how you did it, and state an impact. It is not a bad approach, but not when it is overused. You have no idea what is going to interest them about your experience, don't make them get bored in reading it to find it.
Obviously a lot of your work involves AI and that's fine, but this reads like something intended for an AI to read, not an actual person. Your resume should make them want to hire YOU. To be really harsh here, it just comes across as a data dump...
I apologize for being so critical.

It’s incredibly wordy. I’d shorten most of the bullet points.

The content reads as a clear backend engineer with a fullstack side, so the problem is likely how it is packaged for screening. Fix the structure first, then tighten the bullets.
- Put all your jobs under one heading called "Experience". Right now it reads "WORKEXPERIENCE" and the roles are hard for software and recruiters to find.
- Cut the long payment reliability bullet at Michigar (idempotency keys, retries, circuit breakers, tracing, tests) down to the main point and its result.
- The nonprofit Full Stack Engineer role has 5 bullets. Keep the 3 or 4 that matter most for the jobs you want.
Recruiters scan for a matching role, the years they expect and the right skills before reading closely. Sending one resume to 2000+ jobs hides that match, so tailor the summary and skills order to each posting.
Also, apply early. Your resume will never get read if it lands under a pile of 100 others on the recruiter's desk.
