The content on the first image is a bit scattered and meandering. I haven’t seen that sort of list on a CV personally; usually you’ll have a short paragraph introducing yourself, your key focuses areas, and years of experience (cumulative). The list you have makes you seem very junior because things like “1 year” are repeated frequently so honestly I’d cut that whole part, summarize yourself in like 3 sentences at the top, and if you must, have a short “skills” list that is after your job experience and before or after your education experience. That should just be keywords, not long sentences, and you can use multi column formatting to squeeze it in. Anything job specific should/would come up in your past role section anyway. I think those changes would tighten it up and make you come off more experienced. You can probably get your whole CV to be one page this way which is preferable for your level

Yes, agree on cutting the section we see in the first image.
