Career Switch from Oil & Gas Industry to Dev.

Hi All,

I have about 6 years of combined experience in Process Automation industry Specifically in Oil & Gas sector, and currently 30 years old.
As i work on legacy systems, my exposure has been limited to VB, SQL and for now Python but not as a Software Developer.
Though i still use that legacy stack from time to time, my profile is nowhere near to a software developer.

I intend to shift to Software Development sector, and currently investing about 6 hours a day apart from my 12 hour work schedule to learn, prepare and create projects around standard tech stacks as well as studying DSA in deep on weekends.

I just wanted to know if it is possible to transition from Oil n Gas sector to IT Sector at this age? or it is too late for such career switch?
What should be the focus of area if my interest is towards backend engineering specifically API's and Microservices?

Thank you for your time.
