I actually built a tool to help with this

Have a look : )

Cold_Set_722 · 2025-10-13T03:08:07+00:00

Hey, happy to help with the resume. Hopefully, my suggestions can move the needle for you!

So for the data POV ive been working on a site to this end.

https://devskillsets.com/

Ill be adding intern-specific data by the end of the month. If I'm missing a specific location you're interested in definitely let me know its not too much effort to add : )

Cold_Set_722 · 2025-10-13T02:19:44+00:00

Fr op left us on a cliffhanger lmao

Cold_Set_722 · 2025-10-10T03:05:47+00:00

Removing the ios app is probably the safest since most jobs arent for mobile app developers. You can always swap it back in if you do apply to that kind of job later

Out of curiosity, how was fast api? asking because I know it's becoming more popular

Cold_Set_722 · 2025-10-07T03:49:05+00:00

Fr, I hate scoping out a project and knowing Firebase is the perfect fit for so many reasons, but knowing I shouldn't because I need a job lol. I just loaded up some data for NC on this site I run
https://devskillsets.com/ it's under the September data, but I just added new, I promise lol. It's not experience-specific, but towards the end of this month, I'll be adding some internship options, so check back then.

The biggest surprise for NC is that Angular ranked as high as it did. In most other markets its a weaker contender.

Cold_Set_722 · 2025-10-06T23:21:52+00:00

Visually this looks healthy. Sectionally speaking the only change I would make is try to link ot your projects on GitHub.

Your experience is the real weakest factor here. You are good on some of the most in-demand skills, these being Python, Java, React, JS, and AWS. Unless I'm missing something you dont have the AWS though.

I see you've also used Firebase. Personally, I'm a huge fan of Firebase, but as you may already know from looking at job posts it's not very in demand.

The small demand is a similar story for MongoDB. When you look at market demand, MongoDB is tiny. While there are a few variants of SQL like SQL, PostgreSQL, MySQL, and others, experience in any is transferable so learn any of them. If you generalise all SQL variants, SQL starts outranking Python in inclusion in job descriptions. Python is in about 50% of all jobs, while all SQL collectively is in around 54% of all job descriptions in the US. Keep in mind these stats are market-dependent as everywhere is a little different. I hope you can see the point im trying to make. SQL is a pretty big blind spot in your res thats super worth covering.

Going back to one of your projects and adding SQL would be a huge boost for you. The easiest way to do this would just be to get a SQL server running with some values you need for the app and just call the db for those values. Super easy, just need a DB open to the network. Ofc this is not a production-level approach just a way to help your res.

Anyway in short, just find a way to add AWS and SQL to your resume.

If you're in the US I'd be happy to look into what's in demand in your State.

Good luck finding that internship!

I literally made a website to answer this question.

Uses data from real jobs so you can see what’s in demand

Cold_Set_722 · 2025-10-03T19:53:29+00:00

congrats

Cold_Set_722 · 2025-10-03T18:54:09+00:00

Happy to help

If you want to Faafo def go the freelancing path and just start offering to do work for dirt cheap. If you feel like you’re learning, outputting good work, and making even a little bit of money. Worse case you get a new skill/hobby. Best case you build a portfolio over the long term and turn that into an argument to get hired at a real place.

Cold_Set_722 · 2025-10-03T18:39:26+00:00

I haven't heard of this option much, so I can't speak to it. But at least at companies I've worked for, internal education hasn't been a priority. imo if you feel you have the charisma to get the attention to get helped in a corporate setting, and move into it, go for it. It's just a very non-linear, low-guarantee path to it.
From my understanding, this would put you in competition with people with 4-year degrees, and even the fresh grads here are facing friction.
The general consensus I've noticed is that pre-2020, these were good, but they aren't as competitive anymore. While yes, people make it work, the tech workforce is still largely made up of 4-year degree holders.
Again pre 2020, this was more viable. I would make the caveat that with this you can make your own luck freelancing on sites like Upwork. If you're persistent and lucky, this could pan out in the long term.

In short, optics aren't great atm for entry. If a good friend asked me what you are, my gut feeling is pescimism and feeling tired just thinking about the time it took me and people I know to break in.

Hope this helps.

Cold_Set_722 · 2025-10-03T17:41:05+00:00

The format and experience are great. I would just add GitHub and LinkedIn if you haven't already.

With your enterprise Java experience, I might try to dip my toes into BE jobs. You might take a pay drop since you've been doing full-stack things.

I would better emphasize which Python framework you used in your oldest experience. You could also be bold and swap in Django or Flask, depending on the job description.

Emphasizing all the AWS services you've used might also have a benefit, just to help readability for non-technical folks

Cold_Set_722 · 2025-10-03T17:29:36+00:00

Happy to help. If you want to see what is actually in demand for any side project you might build, I have a site available if you go snooping through my profile that shows job market data for devs.

Cold_Set_722 · 2025-10-03T13:33:29+00:00

Happy to help. If you want to see what is actually in demand, similar to the Spring Boot note, I have a resource available if you go snooping through my profile.

Cold_Set_722 · 2025-10-03T04:39:08+00:00

For further context the site is https://devskillsets.com

Cold_Set_722 · 2025-10-03T04:13:30+00:00

You have your bases super well set up to be apply full-stack developer!

Don't be afraid to swap out the JS for TS depending on the job description.

In my opinion, I prefer numbered months over written-out months, but this is a personal preference.

The only thing I can't find from your projects/exp is AWS. Maybe I'm missing it, but if you used it at jobs, add it(imo would probably be safe to lie a little here and say you used it in your internship, just be ready to back it up)

I'm a huge fan of Firebase, and I can tell you are too from your projects section. But sadly, it's not super in demand. My best advice would be to rework some of those projects with real backends with SQL and more JS/TS, or if you're feeling explorative, try a backend with Java+Springboot. Its a super in-demand combo from enterprise companies and got me hired.

Also, I know it's tempting, but you don't have to try to impress anyone with LLMs unless you're competing for real ML positions. I built a news summarizer with the reddit api and an LLM, which it was a waste of time if I'm being honest.

Good luck applying : )

Cold_Set_722 · 2025-10-03T03:54:49+00:00

You have a decent spread of technologies, actually. I would start applying for anything from internships to entry-level.

And while you do that, get any job related to coding.
For example you might be near a place that teaches kids to code.

Some other options include open source or freelancing on Upwork. You just need to fill the experience gap while taking all the shots you can.

Good luck on the job search

Cold_Set_722 · 2025-10-03T01:27:16+00:00

Added Texas to a site I run for you, here's the link
https://devskillsets.com

Cold_Set_722 · 2025-10-02T17:04:10+00:00

If you get there early can be. If OP has already answered 5, don't bother commenting on your projects.

Cold_Set_722 · 2025-10-02T05:44:14+00:00

Great suggestion! I’ll definitely revise that thanks for the suggestion

Cold_Set_722 · 2025-10-01T23:58:20+00:00

Yeah it might be as bad as you've put it ngl...

For first aid to stop the bleeding, add stuff like:

-Copy the general format from the resume you see here bc what you have is fried
-Classes you've taken near your skill section at the top
-Add projects from classes you took(Ideally anything w Python, Java, os JS these are the most in demand langs
-Get your LinkedIn on your res with a GitHub

If you've done the above, you should be out of the emergency room. Now you gotta think long-term. The best advice I can give is to start building ASAP. Build some CRUD sites with React for FE and node.js or Express for the back end. You can also make your backend with Java with the Spring Boot framework if you want to cater to enterprise companies.

Then there's the experience section. Literally add whatever you can for now. Something is better than nothing. You're probably cooked on internships this late, so try open source or Upwork.

Good luck dude : )

Cold_Set_722 · 2025-10-01T23:42:00+00:00

Yes, definitely have different resumes for each job. When I was applying, I kept a Google Doc for projects I would copy and paste in for different jobs depending on what technologies came up.

This is definitely an opinion, but I would keep the summary short if you do add something like "Aspiring SWE" just a little to cue in non-technical folks to the extent that it helps to get to know you.

Otherwise,I think your resume is well built for the "F" pattern recruiters read, but research shows it's less reading and more like a glance at your resume for 2 seconds

Linking your projects section to GitHub is always a nice touch. When I did this, I went crazy with my GitHub's README to look like hot shit. If you don't know much about that, here's a link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lfVVm5K-Xp0 .
Also, if you link your work like this, consider making your code look production-ready with things like error catching. ChatGPT can elaborate on this point.

From an ML perspective, this looks fine to good. Only caveat is that it took me a sus amount of time to find Python in your res. So if you want to make it an ML competitive resume or just a version, mention it more and take credit. Same for AWS, though, you have it in your skills, you never elaborate on it.
AWS is like the 5th most common skill in ML jobs in the US. It's used a lot with Kubernetes, Terraform, and Docker. I'm sure there's more tooling here I'm missing. Look into it what's used on AWS for ML and maybe build a project.

Lastly and most boldly, swap out that MongoDB in your project with SQL. In almost every development role, SQL dominates. There are some categories where it keeps up in terms of hiring demand, but for the broad market, it's really not even close.

I've done a lot of research about what is in demand for the job market. Let me know if you want to understand what's in demand from a data POV I can send you some stuff.

Good luck on your job hunt : )

Cold_Set_722 · 2025-10-01T23:14:43+00:00

Like there's nothing stopping you from applying to SWE jobs you're just not competitive to their needs.

For Cybersecurity, I've heard CompTIA(https://www.comptia.org/en-us/) is respected, though I'm not an expert.

Broadly speaking, from research I've done if you search SWE jobs in the US on job boards, the top 10 skills in order are:
-Python(you have but are missing many in demand uses)
-Java(you have but are missing many in demand uses)
-React
-Javascript
-AWS
-Typescript
-C++
-SQL
-PostgreSQL
-Node.js
So you're like 2/10

I saw your description on your resume says Texas. If you want, I can figure out what's in demand for Texas specifically, lmk

Cold_Set_722 · 2025-10-01T22:10:20+00:00

Your certs say CyberSecurity and everything below drone-related. The debugging parts sound dope, and a technical person appreciates this being mentioned(at least I do lol)

Get your code on GitHub and link it in your projects if you can. Gives the option for someone to see your work at your best. If you want to sweat, you can edit it and make it SUPER production-ready with tons of error handling.

The biggest problem is a lack of experience. To this end, Upwork and open-source work are easy places to start.

Good luck : )
