I have been applying via linkedin, company portal which show up on google search but somehow nothing is working out, cold dm, emails almost all eventually ending in radio silence. Not asking for some shortcut just that it all isn’t making sense.

As others have said, relationships are the key. The current state of the tech job market is bad. Probably the worst I’ve ever seen and it is still getting steadily worse.
I spent almost a year applying before getting my latest job. I was even getting interviews until the beginning of this year. Then they very abruptly stopped for some reason. Only reason I got the job I have now is because an old business associate happened to think of me and reached out to see if I was looking. I’ve been doing this for years and I’ve got a solid resume but it is tough out there.
That said, I’m not trying to discourage you. Keep at it and you’ll find something. Working on side projects or contributing to open source projects can help give you accomplishments to put on your resume.
