You could have a much stronger resume, with minor tweaks. You have a very interesting profile, but I find the structure is a bit off, and your summary could be very impactful!

For the structure, "interest/hobbies" is a very weak title for what's in there! I think you should have an experience section with just your real job, and the other section would include your volunteer work AND the Youtube educational channel. For that other section, you could call it "personal projects" or "volunteer experience" or "other experience"... whatever you see fit.

And the summary is really what can be improved most. Create a separate "skills" section, at the very bottom of your resume, to get that out of the way. For your summary, think of it as the highlights of your resume. You need to mention that you went through school getting honours and awards. You also need to talk about that Youtube channel (shows initiative and a love of programming... make sure to include the link!) and add a bullet (each) for one or two of your best accomplishments.

Careful with language:

analysis, designing, developing... Harmonize (-ing everywhere)
Emphasism... drop the m
DesignED and implemented

Wow so many little mistakes definitely add up! Great points I should really highlight my YouTube Channel!

Thank-you so much!
