The white/clear on the profile is a bit annoying and unappealing but that is an opinion and is subjective. I would suggest using a very thin clear/white border around the user cards/profiles as I think it’d make it look more appealing.
An example of this is this little thing I did.
You’d have to find a new place for the names however as the area I used was making it quite small but this is just to give an idea of what I mean.
