Currently a seasonal construction worker in DE with a 2-year IT degree. Is it possible to switch to an IT job from within the country? Need advice Danke schön!

Hey everyone,
I’m currently in Germany on a non-EU seasonal construction visa. Back home, I graduated with a 2-year IT degree, but I don’t have professional tech experience yet (only personal portfolio projects/GitHub).
My English is fluent (B2+), and my German is at a basic beginner level (A2)
I want to stay in Germany and transition into entry-level IT. Realistically, I can hit the 6 points needed for the Chancenkarte (Opportunity Card) based on age, legal stay in DE, shortage occupation, and partial degree recognition.
