Stephen,

You have some great information built out but it feels too indented. Move some text back to the left and think about other ways to make your headers stand out. Building resumes are ust like websites use styling to build a hierarchy for you.

Look at taking the bullets off the Technologies Used and make it 3 columns, it might give you more space because I would also like to see you add some details about your projects, not too much maybe a link to how to access them on GitHub or more about them.

Also, look at how you built out your Experiences, you can use that same format for projects and it will give your resume a more unified, and cleaner look.
