Friend: If you can get the money together, get on a bus to Boston (many other cities will work, but that's my home base) and go on couchsurfing.com to find a crash pad. Show up, unannounced, at any of the many, many recruiting offices around here with link to a portfolio or github account and let them know you are looking for work. If you have even decent skill, you will have interviews within a day or two at most.
And I mention recruiters only because it will open your eyes to the possibilities. Much better, got to any of the many free meetups (check the "NERD center" calendar) that happen almost daily and you will find plenty of like-minded introverts to talk code and network with.
Whether or not you're actually good, I of course don't know. But don's sell yourself short. Take a shot. I did about five years ago and it was like being fired out of a cannon. Good luck to you.
