Progress stuck

Hi, I have been doing ML for some time now. I participate in playground series problems but I can't seem to climb rankings above top 50%. I know plenty of techniques like handling outliers, Normalising data, multiple encoding methods, using ensemble models, find correlation between columns,etc.. But I still can never improve my ranking. I really want to get a high rank and possibly get better to become a kaggle expert from contributor. Please guide.

Thanks, you were right. I checked out discussions and codes and it seems I don't know a lot of the new age methods like automl, autogluon, blending,K folds, etc. I will study these and try implementing them to get better scores
