Screen-space shadows producing white result

I've been trying to learn screen-space techniques, specifically Ray-marching ones but I have been struggling to get a single working example to continue learning from and solidify my knowledge. I'm implementing Screen-space shadows following this article but my result just seems to be a white image and I cannot seem to understand why. The code makes sense to me but the result does not seem to be right. I can't seem to understand where I might have gone wrong while attempting this screen-space ray-marching technique and would appreciate any insight to that will help me continue learning.

Using Vulkan + GLSL

Full shader: screen_space_shadows.glsl

// calculate screen space shadows
float computeScreenSpaceShadow()
{
    vec3 FragPos = texture(gPosition, uvCoords).rgb;
    vec4 ViewSpaceLightPosition = camera.view * light.LightPosition;
    vec3 LightDirection = ViewSpaceLightPosition.xyz - FragPos.xyz;
        
    // Ray position and direction in view-space.
    vec3 RayPos = texture(gPosition, uvCoords).xyz; // ray start position
    vec3 RayDirection = normalize(-LightDirection.xyz);
    
    // Save original depth of the position
    float DepthOriginal = RayPos.z;
    // Ray step
    vec3 RayStep = RayDirection * STEP_LENGTH;
    
    float occlusion = 0.0;

    for(uint i = 0; i < MAX_STEPS; i++)
    {
        RayPos += RayStep;
        vec2 Ray_UV = ViewToScreen(RayPos);


        // Make sure the UV is inside screen-space
        if(!ValidRay(Ray_UV)){
            return 1.0;
        }
        
        // Compute difference between ray and cameras depth
        float DepthZ = linearize_depth(texture(depthMap, Ray_UV).x);
        float DepthDelta = RayPos.z - DepthZ;

        // Check if camera cannot see the ray. Ray depth must be larger than camera depth = positive delta
        bool canCameraSeeRay = (DepthDelta > 0.0) && (DepthDelta < THICKNESS);
        bool occludedByOriginalPixel = abs(RayPos.z - DepthOriginal) < MAX_DELTA_FROM_ORIGINAL_DEPTH;
        if(canCameraSeeRay && occludedByOriginalPixel)
        {
            // Mark as occluded 
            occlusion = 1.0;

            break;
        }
    } 
    return 1.0 - occlusion;
}
