>> It feels like nobody looks at your GitHub profile though Of course they don't. Unless you built something that many other developers use, nobody will know you exist. The industry is extremely competitive. Given your current optimistic frame of mind, I would say yes, there is hope for you but you're going to have to work yourself to the edge of insanity to get a shot at getting your GitHub profile noticed at all. If I were in your position, I would try to work in some area of software which is related to your expertise (mechanical engineering). That can give you an upper hand.
