[3 YOE] Data Engineer — barely getting any callbacks, not sure what's wrong

I've been applying for Data Engineer roles for a while now (Azure/PySpark/Databricks stack) and getting almost no callbacks despite what I think is relevant experience. Would appreciate an honest, critical look at my resume — what's actually holding it back?

A few things I'm unsure about myself:

  • Is the summary too generic / keyword-stuffed?
  • Should my "Professional Experience" bullets be more quantified (I've kept them qualitative so far)?
  • Is one job + one project enough to be competitive at 3 YOE, or does it read thin?
  • Formatting/ATS issues I might be missing?

Not attached to anything — happy to hear it's bad if it's bad. TIA 🙏
