Critique my resume?

I'm sure there are people who think it's the worst ever, but I'm pretty happy with it. It has served me well over the years, and (maybe) even helped some friends who adopted a similar format and style to get their jobs.
Some things I strive for:
* No redundant labeling like "Name: <your name>, Education: <your degree>" etc. It should be obvious what's what. (and it saves space)
* Summary at the top (most people won't even read the resume, a summary at the top enables them to shortlist after a quick glance)
* Examples of tech used (mostly to trigger keywords)
* Plain English. Can't stress this enough - I hate resumes full of vague business sounding fluff. Eg (I'm just making this up but) "streamlined collaborative efforts and alignment between multiple business critical priorities" <-- wtf does stuff like this even mean? Doesn't pass a bs smell test.
* No bullshit. Eg no "improved x by y %" - you can list duties and actual accomplishments without resorting to that style.
* Comfortably fits on one page.
That said, improvements always welcome :P
- c7DJTLrn 5y agoC'est bon. I'd change Current to Present though.
- bedobi 5y agoGood point, thanks!

- bbojan 5y agoI wouldn't disambiguate AWS (should be pretty obvious what it is to people reading the resume), but if you feel it's needed, you can do it only once in the document. Otherwise a very clean, short resume - I would say in the 80th percentile :-)
- bedobi 5y agoTrue, done :) thanks!
