If you:

- have good problem solving and coding skills - spend a month or two learning how to build networks using good libraries

Then you will be able to get a good result with the Twitter task I pointed out. It takes being able to work input data correctly, think about what matters and what doesn't, then synthesize using readymade DL tools, usually in python. None of that is complicated esoteric neural net stuff, it is just motivated problem solving.

I'll add that as a big point — you should be able to code, problem solve, and be motivated.
