Here are my thoughts (I'll start from top to bottom):

1 Github, LinkedIn... Are these supposed to have hyperlinks attached? Because from the screenshot, it looks just like plain text. If you do have hyperlinks attached, you could try making that visible (classic underlined blue text). If not... what's the point of having them there? :)

2 Employment, education, experience etc.
I think it would be better if you increased the font of these sections. Just so they stand out.

3 Technical consultant, Plat4mation, Dec 2018
I find this a little bit hard to read. It took me a few seconds to understand that Plat4formation is the company you worked for.

Perhaps it would be easier to read if you formatted like this (for example)

Employment

Plat4mation (Dec 2018 - Sept 2019)
Technical consultant

  • acquired customer requirements...

(with different font sizes and maybe some bold text)

4 it's very good that you wrote a bit about what you did at your job (some people just say the company name)

5 Education
Same formatting advice as for Employment

6 Technical experience
It's not really clear to me if these are personal projects or freelancing projects. Perhaps you could change the title from technical experience to personal projects.
If these are personal projects, maybe you could also post some GitHub links. That way a potential employer could actually see what your code looks like.

Hope this helps!

Thank you conectionist! some interesting poins i ddin't think of.
I did highly value putting everything on 1 page, if I add links to every project then it would turn into 2 pages. They can find all projects in my github, which was a link (underlined it now)
