Looking for Senior? Drop all references to jobs past 10 years. Limit the risk of stagnation questions.
Looking for FAANGs or similar? Talk in generalities/fundamentals. Don't focus on the C#/.net - they're often viewed as antiquated enterprise tech choices.
Golang pivot isn't a bad move if you're going after FAANG or SAAS. Still plenty of C#/.net dependencies and opportunity out their, if you'd like to capetalize.

Is this link being shared with employers? If yes, while not essential a better visual design would make it easier to read.
Attention to detail is part of the job, and when I’m hiring someone senior I’m looking for reasons to not pursue them.
Use consistent tenses between bullet points. All other bullet points are written in past tense, but this one is written in the infinitive. Should be 'Built'.
A bit of empathy can go a long way. That might be the tenth resume your interviewer will read today, anything to make their life easier will help.
I'm not sold on the list of technologies at the top of the resume for two reasons: The first is it gets repeated when you go through the roles, the second is it doesn't tell me when you had that experience.
Did you just have two years of experience in nodejs recently, or was it two years ten years ago?
1. At StaticIP.io, did this person actually work as a Go developer, or was he some other type of "Engineer" who occasionally needed to code something? Are we talking 500 lines of Go code in total, or 50000?
2. Is there any evidence that the Go programming effort was successful at meeting customer needs? All I can find is things like http://web.archive.org/web/20190314150150/http://staticip.io... that suggest that the company may have failed before it even launched.

Use capitalization properly. Lots of mistakes there. Also, read the other comment about inconsistent tenses.
>Mitsui OSK Lines - San Francisco, CA Aug 2002 to Apr 2009
>House.net - San Francisco, CA Senior Software Engineer Mar 2009 to Nov 2011
Did you start at House.net before the Mitsui project was over? Or is that something you need to correct?
>Mitsui OSK Lines - San Francisco, CA Aug 2002 to Apr 2009
>Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Stored Procedures
You did this from 2002 to 2009. Did you upgrade Microsoft SQL Server to 2008 towards the end of the project?
>Sept 2012 - Sept 2016
>Angular
Perhaps you meant AngularJS?
>jQuery (10yrs)
Only seven years are represented in your projects.
>Go/Golang (2 yrs)
>Vue.js (2yrs), Angular ( 2yrs)
Considering the duration of the projects involving these, perhaps you want to update the numbers?
