A good way to age-proof yourself is to start your own business.
In the dozen years I've been running my SaaS products, despite being Old during that entire timespan, nobody has ever so much as asked me my age. Let alone discriminated against me because of it.
And I've been "Consulting While Over 30" for nearly 20 years now for individual clients. None of which have ever held my lack-of-inexperience against me.
Granted, I've done fine during my occasional forays back into traditional-ish employment with respect to the whole "ageism in tech/you're never gonna work again" thing. But if that ever did start to happen, I wouldn't worry about it happening so much to the entrepreneurial side of my world.
