go full webdev and learn to hate yourself

find out what kind of projects you want to work on, server side stuff, light web client applications, heavy dekstop clients, mobile clients ..
then pick a language, get ok at it, learn how to rdbms, larn how to http and networking, learn framework for language

In my experience, EE's generally have the best maths knowledge of all the standard "engineering majors"

E.g. solomonoff of solomonoff induction fame.

Hah. I'm an EE student already pretty familiar with software stuff, trying to learn VLSI and embedded.

Agree with >>59827954 pick your target first.

Basically the only issue is learning the relevant libraries / frameworks. If you've got C, you shouldn't have too much trouble picking up the languages that whatever framework uses.
It would probably be a good idea to set up a LAMP stack as a lab and go from there.
My experience is front-end is generally a pretty shitty place to be, though, unless you have some sort of fetish for CSS. Back-end and devops are more fun.

If you have a decent understanding of algorithms, you'll probably be ahead of most CS students who just copy every npm install command they see. Learning the tools is comparatively less work and less important than getting a good sense of how programs should be written. Within a framework, responding to HTTP requests is actually pretty similar to interrupts, so now that I think about it that will probably be pretty easy.

but see we are biased towards web dev, maybe he doesn't give 2 shits about web clients and wants to leverage his microcontrolers know how in home automation projects with a native mobile client, make a really gud desktop text editor or wahtever
