I don't know how things are in Poland, but in my country, you can get a great junior SWE job with your background.
The problem with GitHub profiles is that they tend to contain a lot of noise that nobody has the time to go through, and when they do, the projects are usually not very impressive. They tend to look like they were made by a project generator with little subsequent work by the actual human.
My advice to you would be:
1) keep applying to jobs
2) clean up your GH account to only contain 1-2 extremely great projects. Hardly anyone would look beyond that. Get rid of the CRA based CRUD projects if you have any, they will not impress anyone.
3) use your unique background to stand out. Make sure your projects are unique, interesting and draw attention visually. Use your background in 3D graphics. Use your ME background where there's a wealth of data to be analyzed and presented. Be creative. Put up informative and interesting READMEs for your projects, as they will be the deciding factor in whether anyone decides to spend more time on your project.
Good luck! Feel free to contact if you need advice or guidance.
