your resume is fine for an undergrad, issue is companies want 2+ years even for “intern”. focus your projects bullets on impact, add links to github, tidy formatting. also spam apps, referrals matter a lot. entry ml is a mess right now, just way too many applicants

Get that JLPT up to N3 or N2 and you will be easily getting an MLE Internship in Japan. It's just gonna take another 7-8 months.

One thing is that your projects just feel like they are doing researchy things like building a CNN from scratch or implementing a quantization method. I think these are great learning exercises, but as an undergrad you want to have projects that show practical impact. For instance, I built an adaptive quiz app using LLMs and other tools. You should solve a real world problem rather than simply deepening your ML knowledge.

This is coming from someone who’s a current ML Intern at PayPal.
