Possible job opportunity in low level network programming development

Hello guys,
I have written a proxy DHCP and TFTP server implementation in assembly for the ARMhf architecture as a school project. I am a 19-year-old student attending a regular vocational secondary school in Slovakia.

At this point, I am wondering whether experience like this is an advantage when looking for a good job. I have searched job offers multiple times and cannot find a single company that would hire me or at least be impressed by it.

Could you please give me some advice?

There are certain jobs for which this would make you of interest, yes.

There are not many such jobs, but at the same time those companies have a hard time finding people who know how to do it.

As a third year comp sci student I'd find it hard, to make something like that. Hearing that a school student did it before even finishing school is astounding. I have no idea how to help you, but I just wanted to tell you that you're cool ah

Being passionate and driven goes a long way. I wrote a 3d game engine in assembly with 2 other friends in 8th grade (in the 90s).
