Yes you can switch to data science at any point in life. You can learn data science from YouTube or any other free online source or do a 6 months PGP course online or offline.

Your past experience in CA will be an added advantage to solve / automate the tasks that you seem to get bored off. You can contribute so much to the community to solve the problems related to CA or make work much easier for CA. Your expertise in the previous domain can be put to a great advantage 🤘

I got a job as a infrastructure consultant right out of college 3 years ago and later became a solutions architect at the company I am at now. I have a degree in CS and never really got the chance to use my programming skills (Java, python, Springboot framework). I’m finding that I’m not really in to platform engineering or cloud infrastructure and would like to pivot to software/app development. And suggestions on where I could get started on making this transition?
