Appreciate the feedback!

I will try my best to answer your questions:

"Can you speak to what your accomplishments did for the company? (E.g. developed scalable payment system to support $1m revenue growth is much better than saying developed scalable payment system)."

So the startup I worked for was really early onto its life (10 or fewer employees). The company is not generating any revenue from what I saw (rely on funding) or has any definite engagement stats that I had access to make any claims of any boosted participation etc. I can say that a lot of these features I made are core features that they use when promoting their app on Linkedin or attracting potential customers. I do have more features I can list but it's just going to scream more coding like you mentioned.

"What other things did you do besides coding, coding, coding? Did you test? Did you deploy/build a deployment pipeline? Did you collaborate with the product owner to refine the design etc?"

I did collaborate with the UI/UX designer when I received tasks from them on potential adjustments/changes from my view. They also asked me for feedback on mockups they made. I did test and search for bugs. Are these good points that should be included?

"My personal preference is also to see the technologies used right in descriptions as well as in it's own section so I can judge how much experience you really have in those technologies."

Not a question you asked but I am confused on what you mean here. Do you mean in each of my job descriptions I should include the tech stack? I was working with the tech stack I highlighted underneath the role name.

"Any reason why the first job has so little description? (Probably for the same reason, listed only "coded thing" and not all the other tasks which support coding?)"

So I did do leaderships tasks such as coordinating standup meetings, and helping other interns with roadblocks/problems they encountered. Should I include this?
