This doesn't help much.

I like short profiles, but I think yours is too minimal, especially with so many skills.
You should get the client's attention in the first two sentences, which are the only thing they see without opening the profile (the same goes for proposals).
Tell them what you can do for them that makes you special. You don't need to introduce yourself, or say what you do, or anything like that. They can already see that.
You have several skills, you should create specialized profiles, each one with its own text, don't put the same one in all of them.
I'll leave you a couple of threads that might be useful to you:

Faraz, I see you are giving help in a personal way by contacting the people who ask.
This is a forum. The answers we give to the questions can be useful to others who are looking for help, so I think that you should give that help publicly, don't you think?
I don't know why you do it privately.

Hi Maria:

I understand that the purpose of this forum is to share knowledge and solutions with a wider audience.

Thank you for bringing this to my attention. While I understand that some freelancers may reach out privately for assistance, I'll strive to ensure that my responses are always posted publicly whenever possible.


Thanks Maria for posting your opinion.

Dear Prince:

Faraz, how do you call it a "nice profile" if it is lacking in all aspects?
This is not exactly helpful.

Samer gives upvotes to everyone. You don't need to give a good answer or ask a good question.

Your profile is really nothing now. You have to tell the client what you can do for them, not talk about yourself, and you have to hook them in the first two sentences, that's all they see without opening your profile (same with proposals).
I don't know anything about your field of work, but can't you add some kind of portfolio?
Maybe you'll find this helpful (links included):

Dear Bnvg:

 

Welcome to the plateform. You can improve your profile by adding portfollio items of your skills sets. Introduction videos can also add value to your profile. Keep it up and make more attractive specially your introductory paragraphs in bullets/ points to highlight skills sets.

 

Regards.
