Nice!

Your name looks off center. It's more an effect of how the unit number "#1" hangs. Below it I would left-flush the address. And on the right I would have my email address and web-site (and or phone number).

For formatting I would put the place names (e.g. Boston, MA) in italics. I would put my job titles and degree names (e.g. PhD Computer Science, Research Assistant) in Small Caps. (Or, put the years in italics if that looks better. It makes it easier to "parse" it with a glance.)

If you want an industry style resume, I would add an "Experience" section that details what PLs you know and for how many years, along with tools like ddd, cvs, subversion, et cetera. If you want a more academic CV, list publications in a section of its own (might be a good idea either way).

The "1 page" rule died in hi-tech years ago. Probably everyone else will read the PDF version themselves and or print it out on a double-sided printer. Thus, go to two pages if you feel crammed.

List your GPAs.

Try bullets for the big paragraphs instead.

Instead of "took over development" maybe you could say "productized and redesigned".

If you are doing this in LaTeX, try for some living links:

\usepackage[dvips, pdftitle={Your Title}, pdfauthor={You},
pdfpagelabels=true, linktocpage=true, pagebackref]{hyperref}
\renewcommand*{\backref}[1]{(Cited on page~#1.)}
\usepackage{url}
\newcommand{\mailto}[1]{\href{mailto:#1}{\url{#1}}}

(The hyperref package you don't need probably, but it would add some more PDF attributes to the generated document.)

If I were reading the resume, I might not visit the sites if I had to copy-paste (though, I might not read them all in the first place).

I like to say "Unit 1" instead of "Apt. 1" or "#1" because then it sounds like "hey, maybe this guy has a condo or something."
