3. Your resume content is good but you can try making it more presentable using better format or template. Do experiment and see what makes your profile stand out.
Feel free to ask followup questions in comments.

5. Difficult to digest that you are proficient in Java, Python. C#, Frontend, Data Science. You should only mention your key skills which are relevant to job requirements. As suggested above, creating role focused resume will help here.
6. Remove blue color in Certifications section.
Why your resume is not getting shortlisted?
Finding your first job is hard and current market conditions makes it even harder. Blindly applying hundreds of jobs will not help.
1. If you are not getting shortlisted for more than a month, check your resume for ATS. These days recruiters use ATS software to manage candidate pipeline and your resume has to be ATS compatible to get through.
2. Identify fitment between job requirement and your resume. Your resume should have key skills and keywords required in JD. Creating role focused resume or tailoring your resume as per JD will help.

Here are few improvements I see, take what makes sense to you -
[part 1]
1. You should add Resume headline after your name that tells recruiter - what kind of role you are looking for. Example - Aspiring Software Engineer or Aspiring Data Scientist.
2. Content wise your resume is good, bullet points are crisp and quantified.
3. I feel your resume formatting is too compact, may be you want to have one page resume. Since you have 2+ years of experience, you can go beyond one page. Try using a clean resume template like - Glacier Chill from https://1millionresume.com/resume-templates
4. Try creating 2 resumes one for Software Engineer and another for Data Scientist where you can highlight relevant skills and experience. One resume can't standout for everything.
