I have been interested in designing and building things since the age of 5 (when I got my first Library Ticket and was also allowed access to my Dad's shed). I studied electrical, electronic and mechanical engineering from an early age and, after some formal training, joined British Telecomm where I eventially became an Electronics Designer and a Senior Programmer.
I left BT in 1992 and worked for various Companies on a consultancy basis. in 2014 I had a boating accident and decided to retire. Since then I have been messing with various projects. These have mostly been incorporating Arduinos or ESP32s.
My other interests are Cars and Music.
That's about it for now.

Welcome to the forum, it sounds like you have a good background.
First computer 1959. Retired from my own computer company 2004.
Hardware - Expert in 1401, and 360, fairly knowledge in PC plus numerous MPU's and MCU's
Major Languages - Machine language, 360 Macro Assembler, Intel Assembler, PL/I and PL1, Pascal, Basic, C plus numerous job control and scripting languages.
Sure you can learn to be a programmer, it will take the same amount of time for me to learn to be a Doctor.

Hi Mel and a warm welcome to the forum.
