FAANG opportunities for someone who switched careers in 30s

I switched career from Video Content Production to Software Engineering in my early 30s due to financial reasons. I am a senior engineer today and appreciate the fact that there is constant grind and learning in this field, and honestly, I enjoy it. Do FAANG company recruiters and teams consider candidates with profiles similar to mine for engineering roles?

At Dell, I learnt writing excel macros to generate reports and dashboards. That led to learning HTML, CSS and JS to build web based dashboards and small python scripts for process automation.
I caught the attention of a few engineering leaders by winning internal hackathons and that's how I landed SWE role at Dell.
