Welcome to DEV Fidel! Are you looking to use webdev skills as part of your chemical engineering?, or are you looking to switch careers?

Ideally, I would love to work developing apps (web/mobile/desktop) related with chemical engineering or engineering in general.

I have 8 years of experience working as a field engineer in the oil industry, my main focus is to distance myself from that industry for ethical reasons, I believe we should do everything we can to lower our dependency on fossils fuel.

I also always felt a high interest in software development, so if I ended up working for a couple of years as a web developer I will feel very good because that would be a great learning opportunity.

In the end, I believe that the most probable and interesting path for me to take is to work as a developer for some time, improve my skills and then find a way to blend chemical engineering and software development.

Thanks for asking.

Yeah, that sounds like a great plan - since you have so much experience in one field, it would be awesome to apply that in your software development career too!
