CS graduate with terrible grades and no internships. Looking for advice.

Hi, I am a graduate of Bachelor of Computer Science, looking for career wise advices on getting a graduate role as a SWE. Here is my situation: terrible grade, no internships or other SWE relevant experiences. I had other obligations and some issues in my life to deal with during I was at uni and couldn't really focus on studying, so I ended up with terrible grades. I couldn't get any internships as well, so I have no relevant experiences in SWE. I feel quite lost right now that I have two less things to show off on my resume (uni grade, swe experience). Should I fill up my resume with lots of impressive projects? Is that all I can do and hope the companies will consider my resume? To be honest, I am not even sure what sore of projects will even be impressive enough to get my resume not thrown away. My goal is to eventually end up in big-techs or HFTs. Any advice will be greatly appreciated.

What worked for me was joining a no name start up that would take a chance on me. Low pay, Long hours. Preferably with newer tech. It was hard but I learned a lot very quickly and it jump started my career
