Hey there @Swayam_Jain17!

Everything looks great-- you seem very dedicated! You have a great variety of clubs, sports, community service, awards, passion projects, and jobs. The only thing I can think of is that you might want to reorder based on importance-- I would put the blog under coding a video game and maybe move your job a little higher up? Just a thought, everything looks really strong.
