Sorry about your situation. I would suggest doing two things.
1. Build a github profile. Do some interesting side projects that shows you can code. They don't have to super complex, small scripts that are useful or a CRUD web app is fine.
2. Make a linkedin account, add a bunch of recruiters, people from FAANG and start ups, start sharing your side projects on linkedin. Do cold reach outs to recruiters on LinkedIn. This is all a lot of work obviously, but it will work. Don't worry about college degrees, no one really cares tbh. Good Luck! |

If you’re applying for mid level up and the only relevant experience you have for the role is a github profile with side projects, thats not going be enough to get an interview. Recruiters who screen candidates won’t even check out github profiles let alone evaluate their content.
Degrees are not really a hard barrier nowadays to get interviews. What’s important is relevant experience. OP doesn’t sound like they have relevant professional experience to the roles they’re applying for. which is probably why they are not getting interviews and is incorrectly blaming their lack of degree as the reason
