Hi everyone,

I'm looking for honest feedback on my resume because I'm struggling to get interview callbacks for backend internships and entry-level backend developer roles.

I'm based in **India** and recently completed a **3-year Polytechnic diploma in Computer Science and Engineering**. Since then, I've been focusing on becoming a backend developer through self-learning and building projects.

My primary stack includes:

* Python
* FastAPI
* PostgreSQL
* SQLAlchemy
* Docker
* Git/GitHub
* REST APIs
* JWT Authentication

Additionally knows:

* C/C++
* Basic Java
* HTML, CSS, JS

I'm currently learning **AWS** to improve my cloud and backend knowledge.

I'm applying for **Backend Developer**, **Python Developer**, and **Backend Internship/Entry-Level** roles across India. I'm open to both on-site and remote opportunities and I'm willing to relocate.

I understand that not having a bachelor's degree puts me at a disadvantage, and unfortunately that's not something I can change right now. Instead, I'd really appreciate advice on **what I can do to compensate for it**. Whether it's improving my resume, building stronger projects, contributing to open source, earning certifications, or learning additional skills, I'd love to know what would make me a stronger candidate.

I'd especially appreciate feedback on:

* Resume formatting and readability
* Project descriptions and whether they demonstrate enough impact
* Skills section and missing keywords
* Anything that might cause recruiters to reject my resume
* Any other improvements that could increase my chances of getting interviews

Please don't hesitate to be critical. I'm looking for honest, constructive feedback so I can improve my resume and job search.

Thank you to everyone who takes the time to review it!
