  Which is an excellent additional point. Start trying to help open source projects. There’s a huge ecosystem of projects needing all kinds of help at every level of technical and programming experience from just above none to mythical 10x gurus. By pitching in with an existing project you can legitimately help them and simultaneously be much more employable since it shows you can work in a team and work on that kind of software, the extra bonus is that by helping a larger project prospective employers are more likely to have heard of the project your contributing to. Edit: This is more of a general advice to novices take. Since you’re clearly already doing this sort of reputation building work.

    I once met an engineer who didn't even need to submit his CV to get the position he had at the time. The company had a quick look at his GitHub profile, then hired him based on that.

  That is impressive. You probably have the coding skills you need, its just a matter of breaking through somewhere. Keep trying to find remote coding jobs. Knock out a ton of leetcode puzzles -- those are common gatekeeping process.
