Nice resume and article about it.

I like the general look of both resumes but I have a second look, they don't tell me a lot.

Assuming that recruiters will have a first look who don't have a lot of time and sometimes knowledge about our industry, I think you'd do better for yourself to share some numbers. Like "reduced load time by 30%", or "designed a UI for collaborative space with +500k visitors a month". Something that actually impresses people.

Regarding your skills. Are you proficient in all those? Or you also list what you are familiar with? Do you think it's worth to group and share your level of expertise (even if it is still vague)?

I think you still have plenty of space to show recruiters even more how great you are.
