The things you have listed here all are becoming a standard requirements for a Computer engineering job, but you need something specific to standout.

1. You said you successfully ran a startup, How was the exit? Are you still maintaining it?

2. You consider yourself pretty good at coding.. Good.. But How do I know that? Freelance projects are made with requirements pre-sepecified., Where are your wild ideas in play? Do you have a github / bitbucket repository that I can look out to?

3. You have done many freelancing projects, and why only 3 of them in your resume? Create a portfolio page and list them all.

Increase the OSS contributions as mentioned in previous responses, get in with the community, know people, These things can take you a long way...
