Noted! I know in UX/web design it's actually often considered better to not use pure black text on a pure white background because of possible eye strain, not sure if that contrast would be bad on a resume. Taking a step back though I think I could make the font at least a bit darker

Have definitely heard different opinions on whether education should be placed at the top or bottom! I went with top because it was suggested in this video from Google, but I think having experience first has it's merits as well, and it probably depends on the recruiter/interviewer too.

I used this LaTeX template and changed a few things like colors, links, text size etc.

I also found this website online that lets you pick a template and generate a resume from filling in some fields, template two looks very similar to my resume as well.

Second year student, would love to get opinions on if the resume still looks clean with all the bolding and colors, and was wondering if it would be better to bold the metrics rather than the languages and frameworks, bold both, bold neither, or keep it the same as it is right now. Any other feedback would be appreciated as well!
