I see a wall-of-text and a thousand bullets, your formatting needs work. Left-justify all major headings and maybe bold them. Have a blank line right before a major heading.

Take credit for the things you did but try not to for the stuff that it's obvious you didn't. For instance, Enriched user experience by monitoring customer network through various Network Management Tools (Cisco Works, Splunk) resulting in 99.99% uptime."

You claim that your monitoring resulted in 99.99% uptime. How? Without the how-you-contributed, I'd be very suspicious that you simply monitored networks that already had 99.99% uptime and alerted people when there was an alarm.

I have a BIG pet peeve about bullets. Please write 2 or 3 brief paragraphs of each job you had. Get rid of summary (you can have that on a cover letter).
Agree with what #EANx said as well.
