Been coding for about a year and a half. No bootcamp, no job, just me, YouTube, and a lot of broken code at 2am.

I'm in my third year of engineering school in Ethiopia and I've been building on the side the whole time. I have three apps live right now — a real-time Kanban tool, an AI study platform, and a movie tracker. Not tutorial projects, actually built and deployed with real users.

I've been applying for remote roles for a while now and I haven't gotten a single interview. Not one. I don't know if it's the resume, the way I'm applying, or just the market. Probably a combination but I genuinely can't tell.

Would love to know:

• Does this read like someone you'd actually interview or does it scream "no experience"?
• Do the project descriptions make sense to a recruiter or is it too technical?
• What would make you close this tab immediately?

Be as harsh as you want. I'd rather hear the truth now than keep sending this out into the void.
