If you are applying at startups it may just come down to money, and the fact that startups are a ton of 20 somethings trying to get that sweet IPO / acquisition release.
How does your Linkedin profile look, in terms of libraries? Many recruiters / managers look at libs / tech FIRST, which is kinda backwards. Do you have the latest tensorflow or [insert cool new thing] on the resume?
If your resume is really what you posted - any outside recruiter can help you getting interviews. They may give you lackluster opportunities at first, but that's part of the process (think of it like dating, but for jobs).

9 minutes of commercials per 1/2 hour? Ice road truckers level content? The bar was really low here. I wouldn't give Netflix too much credit, although IMHO they are doing the best out of their competitors (AMZ, Hulu, etc..).

Loose dirt off of the coast of SF? That doesn't work so well in an earthquake. Lookup "liquefaction".
