Backend Engineer Resume Review | Java, Spring Boot, Kafka, Redis

My primary stack is Java, Spring Boot, PostgreSQL, Redis, Kafka, Docker, and Kubernetes. Most of my experience comes from personal projects, including:

  • URL shortener with Redis-based analytics and performance optimizations
  • Real-time chat platform using WebSockets, Redis Pub/Sub, and event-driven architecture
  • CLI search engine implementing BM25, concurrent indexing, and fuzzy search

I've been applying to backend, distributed systems, and platform engineering roles but would appreciate feedback on:

  • Overall resume quality
  • ATS compatibility
  • Project descriptions and impact metrics
  • Skills section
  • Whether my 2-year gap after graduation is significantly hurting my chances of getting interviews
  • Anything else that stands out as a concern

Also, if anyone feels my profile is a good fit for openings at their company, I'd be grateful for any referrals or recommendations.

Thanks for taking the time to review it.
