I think it is possible to break into tech in any age by managing expectations.
If the main point is work flexibility, I have some ideas:

  • search freelancing websites like upwork or fiverr, learn some niche skills in demand, then start applying
  • assuming you have existing network, reach out to them and offer tech services. secure the deal and learn the stuff later

It is also possible to apply for engineering jobs, just keep in mind you'll be competing with younger people.
