I’ve had a very similar experience and my solution was to incrementally move into more and more math intensive jobs, starting from regular old SWE working on a web app to working on an aerospace-related web app that involved lots of physics and geospatial calculations and then moving toward MLE/DS jobs. All without a STEM degree, teaching myself the math as I go. It hasn’t been easy but I enjoy what I do more and more over time.

This is a bit tangential, but was the lack of a STEM degree ever an obstacle in getting those jobs? Just asking because I'm currently in a similar position, regular SWE job, but I'd like to eventually move to something more mathy.
