Roast my Resume - Can't understand what am i doing wrong?

Applied to 300+ openings, barely any callbacks & interview invites

ATS Score (acc to resumeworded.com): 97/100
Got resume reviewed from numerous industry professionals like sde3 @ Google, SDE3@ Meta, SDE3 at paypal, and more. All say they can't find any mistakes/ improvements here.

Exp: 1.5 YoE
Targetting: sde1 & 2 roles

What can be improved? Feeling stuck

1. Resume should not exceed 1 page unless you have at least 3-4 years of experience.

2. You are short of 2 years of experience (very few companies these days are shortlisting experienced folks with less than 2 years of experience and something tells me the ones that do shortlist you are not able to match your salary expectations)

3. Mentioning skills with no valid experience is not working for you. Things like Python, Redis, MongoDB, SQL, PostgreSQL are not needed if you do not use it regularly.

4. Internship is NOT full time experience. Either keep it in an internship section or remove it.

5. Sports community lead for a software resume adds no value

Not sure if this counts as an improvement but I have never worked on a 2 page resume. That's my personal experience though, might work differently for you. I understand writing long 3-4 page documents is kind of accepted in India.

Create a tailored resume per role for example one for backend engineering, one for cloud engineer etc. You have multiple skills and it's best to have a lazer focused one per domain

Just an addition to all the points mentioned by others.
If you have worked with multiple tech stacks rather than mentioning in single resume you can make 2 resume each for separate profiles.

Just to chase ATS score don’t mention technologies in which you don’t have industrial experience

Too lengthy if I would be a recruiter I won't read this too long resume I would look for specific skills that I need

Make a 1 page resume , feed points to gpt be crisp , choose the right format(eg. list all the tech hashtags on left) which accommodate more with sufficient space and right professional font

Bro can you share your updated resume now if you have incorporated everyone's feedback I am also looking for a change now and want to start with a good resume.

Keep as simple as you can

It was also hard because the division’s core work is private enough that there was not much prep I could do beforehand. Tips?

CFP study programs:

I'm a little confused on Danko - does he offer a self-study option for the coursework requirement? On his website it looks like each module has a 4-day virtual class which I wouldn't be able to attend due to working full time. Does this program also include self-study material, and the classes are just supplementary/optional? I was also looking at Dalton for self-study and Danko for test prep. Thoughts?
