Isreal went from a civil engineering grad in Nigeria with zero IT experience (and a ticking UK visa clock) to landing a Lead DevOps Engineer role in just nine months—working retail nights while crushing an intensive DevOps bootcamp. Fast forward a couple of years and he’s now a Lead DevSecOps Engineer at a cybersecurity firm, all thanks to a structured learning path that replaced scattered online courses.
In his candid interview he breaks down the exact roadmap he followed: why he chose DevOps to solve his visa woes, how he prepped with real interview questions, why he stood out against CS grads, and how he negotiated two job offers to snag a 25% salary bump. If you think you’re too late to switch into tech, his journey proves it’s all about focus, the right guidance, and believing in yourself.
