Definitely an improvement but at the end, as someone who reviewed countless resumes I find it shallow.

By the time i finish reading about your experience I should want to know more. Or at least know enough to take you into consideration.

Since you don't have the traditional "worked at X for Y time and made Z" experience you really want to tell a story here.

For example, the first two items have a lot of redundancy and can be combined and speak about how you built a bank application using all of those technologies. If you can put a link to github repositories of these projects thats even better.

Some of the stuff listed is very basic, and thats ok since you don't have the experience yet. But why even put it? Use those precious lines to expand on meaningful stuff you've done and proud to show off. The line about Tor Isolation Proxy is great, the one about CLI Books management is tiresome.

Is there a particular internship you're targeting? Do you have a side project you can work on in case that doesn't work out, or as additional experience towards a related internship?
