May I offer a couple of quick suggestions? I've never hired for Data Scientist positions, but I've hired for plenty of other ones.

1) Change your profile picture to something serious. Get a collared shirt and a nice background outdoors. No tie. People will unconsciously judge you on your picture, so you want something that shows you're a professional, but you're confident and happy in life.

2) Think hard about your job titles. Your latest job is far more than just a "Data Analyst". It seems closer to a Scientist or Engineer role, even if your company doesn't call it that. "Analyst" makes people think of entry-level positions. Your DBA-Programmer position is more like a Software Engineer/DBA/System Admin position. If you can't pick one, generally those all-in-one positions can be known as Systems Engineers. Whatever you do, make sure that DBA isn't the primary thing people see. In general, sell your previous positions more. Like "IT". That's not a title, that's a department.

3) Expand on your projects section more.

4) Make sure your resume matches your LinkedIn. People absolutely look you up on there. I did it all the time. When the two didn't match, I was suspicious.

Good luck.
