I can see one potential improvement in your resume: BRAND YOU PROJECTS.

It would look so much better if you had something like "Built StoryFactory.io" with cool logo rather than a link to ec2 instance.

And that would be my advice in general - build something that looks professional and not like a project from a coding tutorial. It can be as simple as a to-do app at its core, with a few features, but make a killer landing page for it (you can obviously use a template), figure out a good name, buy a domain, etc.

That's an interesting idea.
