Good experience!Get rid of your age.I like the overview of your resume.Try to work with headhunters in your region who get paid to find you a job.Get to the interview stage..only way to deal with the pressure of interviews is to as many as you can and feel that pressure.Say &ldquo;I don&rsquo;t know&rdquo; if you don&rsquo;t know the answer. You can learn anything.I like your overall tech stack at the top but I include a one liner at the top of each job with the tech stack and versions for quick glancing.Ex: your Lunni job says you are leading front end but I don&rsquo;t know what you&rsquo;ve actually done without the tech stack. That will be my first question in an interview (if it even gets that far). (I just saw the Gitlab link - that works for OSS)Also if you have any education, any at all; even one course list it under a heading called Education.Thanks and luck Add as you get more or complete degrees/certificates.

No education listed? Fine if you don't have any formal training but if you do you should list it. Also at least in North America it's uncommon to list your age on your resume.

Layout. I'm not even going to read this. You don't need to do it in LaTeX, but you really have to add structure to it. I want to glace over it and make out distinct areas of different contents.
