Depends on the audience

I did struggle to explain the significance of this project when I was applying for graduate roles, especially to HR people who only look for keywards in CV.

But there are people who appreciate my work.

I got my internship at AWS because my interviewer who had technical background was very impressed with my work, hence the reason I got hired.

Sometimes you just have to find the right audience.

Kudos to you!

Yes, good hiring managers with sharp vision will always want to hire new grades who is able to write operating systems, compilers or simulators from scratch. Having those essential CS skills are much better than having many buzz words in the resume.
