You're definitely qualified for software jobs. Show off your sideprojects in your resume. You should not need to quit your job to get interviews based on your resume and background. I've interviewed candidates in similar situations as yourself (some with current jobs like lawyer). Aim for small companies or early stage startups where they're more impressed by your determination than by your background in the field. Happy to chat more with you or anyone in a similar situation, email in profile.
