Not bad, but you need to work on consistency. also work on keeping a tight arc. It looks like you are forgetting to feed the rod in at some points and maybe long arcing a bit.

I see a case where the weld looks cold not so much long arc'ed. The toes of your weld are rolled under, not tapered in.

Bump your amps up 5 more and run some new beads. Your travel time looks fine, and for a new welder you're off to a very good start.
