Looking for Feedback on my Resume

Hi! My name is Ryan. I'm currently employed but actively looking to move into software. I have been rejected for quite a few positions so far, which feels bad, but I'm not giving up. If you're someone who hires people or has input into a hiring process, would you mind taking a look at my resume below and giving some feedback?

  • What do you like?
  • What makes you not like me?
  • What questions does it give you, that it could explain more and be more clear about?
  • What could I add/change that would help get me in the door to interview? I feel like I interview extremely well, and I end up befriending most people I talk to face to face. I just can't seem to get very many people to talk to me.

Some notes:

  • I update my resume for every job I apply to in order to match the posting a little bit and show the hiring manager my best qualities. This copy is based on a job for a Customer Success Engineer, but it's about 85% similar to most other versions.
  • I don't have any professional software engineering experience yet, but I've been programming for over 10 years, and am very experienced in many of the "engineering" skills--albeit in a more mechanical application--like design ideation, review, teamwork, professional communication, documentation, working to solve problems and build something, project management, etc. I'd like to showcase that, since I think those skills are often more important than whether or not I know a specific framework or something.
  • I am applying for Mechanical Engineering jobs as well, so I leave the CAD/design skills and certifications on there as well.

Anyway, thank you! Here it is in screenshot form. Here's a link to it in Google Doc form if you prefer to see it in one piece.
