    Ah.

    What about volunteering for an NPO? There are thousands that need help building systems that don’t have the ability to hire engineers. I’ve known a handful of folks that built their resumes like that and were able to pretty quickly get hired somewhere.

      There’s a dev volunteer group that finds NPO projects to help with, Ive lurked in a couple of meetings. Seems promising, just gotta deal with the social anxiety… and actually get involved.

        Have you tried just being not socially anxious? 😅

        I kid. I deal with it too and know how hard it is to overcome. Best of luck to you!
