No. Your skill set as described is not even 'junior' level. Doing a project and doing production code are vastly different eg. "I know my way around my highschool's chem lab." vs "I did a year product development with 3M" Pro-tip: join a start-up for two years Why: Higher odds you can get in the door with your current CV. You will learn to code in _production_ under pressure with rapidly changing goals and timelines. Furthermore out of necessity the start-up you will have you working at things that in a large company are reserved for more experienced devs. The pay-off is that your CV will be much more attractive and your skills will ramp up much faster. Downside: you might have to settle for a slightly below market salary. Poss. upside: if you're lucky your an early hire in an amazingly successful company. How do I know: Been there, done that in ... Ontario.
