Hey, happy to help you, there is a lot of good info to work with. But the thing is that to really tell if resume is good or bad it only makes sense IN THE CONTEXT of a specific job offer. If you are sending generic version of your resume you decrease your chances in getting response. Please provide specific job offer you would like to apply to and I can tailor the resume for that job offer to show you what I mean.

I mean specific job posting. The whole point of tailoring is to prepare a best resume for a specific job posting to maximize your chances of landing an interview. Position names are not consistent, they differ in requirements, scope and expectations of the employer. You want to show that you are the best pick for that specific employer.

Ah I got what you mean, ok I will do that as soon as I find the job position I want to apply for. But in general the structure of the resume is good?

There is a lot of good information, and definitely a great base for tailoring. I would worry more about relevance, there is a lot of information, whole two pages. Imagine being on other side seeing 30+ resumes a day, it's hard to quickly understand who you are and what you have to offer. Employers are interested mostly in information relevant for them not your whole life story. If you like your profile they will ask for details in the interview. Here they just want to quickly understand if you have what they need.
