I honestly have trouble understanding the chronological order of you experiences at first glance, plus they all seem to be given the same importance.

If you really are contacted and complimented over this, I’m puzzled at how the recruiter mind works, I would like a recruiter comment on this.

(This is entirely not directed against you, but towards trying to understand if my way of conceiving resumes has been all wrong so far)

That's totally fair, but not entirely unintentional. I like highlighting the fact that I ran a consulting business throughout high school and college as well as the popularity of some of my side projects. Those have been just as (if not more) valuable as the internships I have had when it came to looking for full-time work.

I haven't updated the layout since I have been at Stack Overflow because I like it and I don't need a resume. If I were to redesign my resume right now it certainly would put more emphasis on the last two years of full-time employment.

Plus, even if it might create some confusion I hope it communicates that I can be trusted to not totally screw up the UI side of things if left by myself haha
