2 days late; not sure if you'll still get a chance to read this. But, I'll bite.

As someone who's hired (good and bad) engineers in both UI/UX and back-end disciplines, my first impression of it was "Yeah, it's not pretty, but he does not allege to be a designer." At that point, I checked out the source code. It was not spectacular, but he did communicate an working grasp of the technology he professed to understand.

If this resume was judged in a biased lean towards UI/UX, my opinion is that you'd be passing up a potentially hard-working and dedicated employee. With a little help from a designer, this guy could possibly do great things.
