Hey there!
It’s always tough to pivot careers but your background is really suited to the field.
I’d say look to build a GitHub portfolio with some interesting ml projects that show how your think about data , processing, modelling and deployment.
Then look for startups - they’re typically more willing to take a chance on someone from a different background if you have the motivation.
Hope this helps!
I second the comment about github. also never understate the power of just being a competent developer. A great software engineer with ml knowledge is much more useful to most companies than the other way around.
