I've been struggling with something very similar. Most of my work in under NDA and I can't use it as references. I worked over 4 years for a company as the lead developer and had very little time left for side projects. I'm now trying to work remotely, but it's very hard for me to proof my experience. My bosses are more than happy to cover for me, but interviews usually never reach that point. It's frustrating to say the least. I'm going to work on my GitHub just to see if things get a little better. We all need a job.

Stackoverflow is a good place to show your expertise. Sure, it has it's negative sides but I really enjoy digging up answers for interesting questions and I include the link to my profile in my resume.
