This stands out as the most likely reason you are not finding any interest. 10 years of experience and not being senior is a massive red flag. While it may not be true, the signal that sends is that you're uninterested in or incapable of growth. You need to do something to combat that perception. I would recommend either:
1. Applying to senior positions only
2. Hiding your years of experience during the interview process
> I would count at least 2000 applications from 2015 onward
This should tell you that your resume is not interest, consider finding and paying someone specializing in tech resumes to polish yours.
If you're sufficiently dedicated, a much more extreme option is to move to the bay area and start socializing. Show up to a few regular meetups and charm the right people and it you can get referrals to a dozen tech companies.
