Consider Sales Engineering. Often in tech companies, there are two types of salespeople: nontechnical folks, and sales engineers.

The nontechnical folks have titles like Account Exec, Sales Development, Inside Sales, Regional Manager. These are the "people people" in sales. Extroverted, greater social skills. Your classic salesperson.

But software is technical, and often gets sold to technical folks. At some point in the sales cycle, a company's sales team needs to talk "brass tacks" and show what the software can do. This means technical presentations, demos, pilot projects. It will be more at infrastructure companies like, say Snowflake, and less at SaaS companies like Salesforce.

For these technical jobs, you need to have sales engineers. You don't need to be a great developer. Instead, you need to enjoy learning technology on your own, and able to "geek out" with fellow geeks. Given your work as a hobbyist, it seems like you definitely have the first attribute.

Hope this helps.
