Look\...I been trying to get into this dashboard for like a week. Since I\'m \"back\" I can finally tell you what I\'m working on doing with my career in this devops/security space. ## What I realized So I was asking around to understand how I can better support my resume for devops roles. After a few conversations I realized I have nothing to support my linux, networking, or architecture knowledge. If you were to read my resume it\'s very mobile with a hint of side projects no matter how I swing it. ## How to fix it So I told you I didn\'t pass the AWS SAA but never fear going to sit for that again next month. I also started a Junos course thanks to [John](https://twitter.com/JBizzle703) and I would like to sit for that one soon since I\'ve been dragging my feet. I do have some issues with the learning platform but whatever. This is just an intro to the system and is actually helping me understand a bit more networking. Now linux is a different beast. I don\'t want to sit for that test at all. I do however want to strengthen my skills so I\'m going to go back and take this course I have on it. Lastly I\'m looking to get the CySA+ by the end of the year. It\'s a security analyst cert and that\'s essentially one of the directions I want to head in with business. This cert will also help me move to app sec a little easier. ## You said a lot...accountability? Look\...if I don\'t post about having Junos, SAA, and CySA+ by the end of the year you can call me on my shit. I have dates on my calendar. I\'ve cleared up some space in my schedule, and I\'ve signed up for classes (I hate wasting money). I will get this done and secure a Govt contract this year because that is the only real goal I have for 2020 given the state of the world. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ I hope this is a nice come back post. If I can get this blog back on my mac I promise I\'ll give even more insight into this process. If you want to hear more about govt contracting let me know and I can write a few things. Like I stated at the start, this blog is going to track me getting into devops and/or app sec. Even when I fail I want to be transparent about coming back because a always win story is boring. Anyway, Enjoy your weekend. Going to stream a computer build (minus GPU) this weekend so follow me on [twitch](https://www.twitch.tv/mochila_ninja)!
