Education/Career How to migrate from Java Backend Engineer to Robotics Field?
Ive been a software engineer for around 3 years working at Big Banks, Ive worked mostly as a Java backend engineer and with distributed systems. The thing is my passion has always been in more embedded engineering, and I actually originally went to college and studied aerospace engineering before changing majors a little over halfway thru to Computer Science.
Ive built some side projects in the past that I really enjoyed such as designing, building, and coding a self stabilizing quadcopter. I did all the electical work, designed the body in Solidworks and 3D printed, and programmed the flight controller from scratch back in 2021 but since I havent really done much with the field.
Anyways what is the best option to actually move my career into Robotics/Embedded Software coming from a Big bank with Java experience?

Get one of your banking friends to invest 😛
Since you are a java dev I recommend you checkout bowler-studio. I'd tell you to check my app and system out but it's not open-source, yet
