My First Job Was Devops

Card image cap

A tech founder hired me for my Power BI skills, but I was assigned a DevOps role instead. He also acted as my mentor. During that time, I delivered multiple projects, earned several certifications, and managed a team of five interns. I worked across AWS, Azure, and GCP, and I also maintained two bare-metal servers.

I designed a platform for the company’s sister business, which sold DevOps courses. I even created training modules that they could package and sell.

Due to some issues, I had to leave that role. One of my former clients from my first job then offered me a fixed-term contract. That contract is now ending, and there is no scope for an extension.

Recently, I have been getting rejected mainly due to visa-related concerns. I’m currently based in the UK. Outside of work, I maintain a home server (HP ProLiant), practise daily, build new projects, and rebuild/improve my older ones.

I’d like advice on what I can do next to make my applications stand out, given that I have only two years of experience.
