Front-end developer, Backend developer, Full-stack engineer, Data Analysts, Data engineers, Cloud engineers, Web engineers/architects, Android developer, iOS developer etc. All of these are broadly classified as software engineers/developers/architects.
There are a lot of technologies that you can learn and depending on which interest you the most, you can choose to be a specialist or SME (Subject Matter Expert).

Software developer/engineer, data scientist, ETL developer, Cloud Engineer are some of the ones that come to mind. Remember, at least in my opinion, coding is probably 20% of your job. Another 20% is in meetings, another 20 - 30% is spent on design/architecture, and then 20% on testing and documentation.

I am glad to hear that you are interested on coding. In terms of coding, there are many different program languages that may use in different kinds of systems / applications. However, the developers is the career that would do the coding work.
As aforementioned there are different kinds of systems / applications, e.g. web development, phones apps, real time applications, ERP, operating systems, etc. All of these would use different programming languages and platform for the coding.
I would suggest you could choose Computer Science as your major to learn about all the fundamentals and start programming in different languages first. The courses will also give you an overview of different kinds of coding and platforms. You can then decide which areas you would like to focus when you start your careeer.
Hope this works! Good Luck!

Software engineers do all the coding, but will often specialise in a particular software language or platform, industry sector and component of the software application. As programming languages and opportunities change, software engineers may need to change to make the most of the opportunities. The recent rapid growth of data analytics is an example of this. Coding is a lot of fun, especially when you are young, but there are a lot of other important roles in the software development industry which you may also be interested in. Technology is always moving fast, so do your own research and always try and stay up to date with the latest trends. What is hot now, may be old news in 3 years time.

Dear Zihao,
Software Engineer Role
As a software engineer, you'll design and construct computer systems, applications, and software programs. This role involves extensive coding, requiring a solid grasp of programming languages like Java, C++, Python, and JavaScript. Additionally, you'll test, debug, and maintain the software you develop.
Web Developer Role
Web developers design and construct websites, using coding languages such as HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and PHP. As a web developer, you can focus on front-end development (the visual aspects of the website), back-end development (server-side functionality), or full-stack development (both front-end and back-end).
Data Scientist Role
Data scientists leverage their programming skills to analyze and interpret large datasets. They use languages like Python, R, and SQL to clean, manipulate, and analyze data. Additionally, data scientists employ machine learning algorithms to create predictive models and provide data-driven recommendations.
Machine Learning Engineer Role
Machine learning engineers design and construct machine learning systems, using programming languages like Python to develop models that learn from data and make predictions. They also focus on optimizing these models' performance and integrating them into larger systems.
Mobile App Developer Role
Mobile app developers design and construct applications for mobile devices like smartphones and tablets. They use programming languages such as Java (for Android apps) and Swift (for iOS apps). They may also work on the back-end systems that support these applications.
Game Developer Role
Game developers design and construct video games, using programming languages like C++, C#, and JavaScript. They may specialize in various areas such as game design, graphics programming, or artificial intelligence.
DevOps Engineer Role
DevOps engineers ensure seamless and reliable deployment of software applications. They use programming languages like Python, Ruby, and JavaScript to automate the deployment process and monitor application performance. They also focus on enhancing the application's security and scalability.
May God bless you!
