"API's" <-- this could be sampling bias, but I've never seen an american write it like this (though, to be honest, I've never seen a resume include the abstract assertion that the person is familiar with APIs)
"Social API's" <-- If this person used the Twitter API then he or she would say it.
"Experienced in domains" <-- This phrase didn't strike you as odd?
"I am on the hunt for Developer-related position." <-- That could be eastern european, but struck me as Indian.
on overreaching: ostensibly this person realized that the community has many technically competent people. Overreaching makes sense when talking to a recruiter. When you are talking with other technical people, just get to the point! No need to say "Health IT" or "Finance" without going into what exactly you did. Finance is particularly bad, because there are many ... for lack of a better term, mindless roles in the major investment banks.
But the fourth point really bothers me. If I wanted to be hired as a web dev, I would have a sample up. Something that would show I know what I'm doing. It's not that hard, and the prevalence of free micro hosting like AWS or github pages or nodejitsu renders the economic argument moot. Hell, even a simple twitter bootstrap site would say that he or she knows that it exists.
