Isreal had a big problem. He studied civil engineering in Nigeria, moved to the UK for his master's degree, and his visa was running out. If he couldn't find a job that would sponsor his visa, he'd have to leave the country. He had zero IT experience. He was working night shifts at retail stores just to pay rent. After 9 months of intense learning in our DevOps program, he landed a Lead DevOps Engineer. 

This was about 2-3 years ago. Now he is working as a Lead DevSecOps engineer at a cybersecurity company.

In this interview, we revisit his whole journey - his struggles, the moment he decided to bet on himself, and the exact steps he took to go from complete beginner to landing a leadership role. You'll learn his specific path, how he prepared for interviews, and his honest advice for anyone thinking it's impossible. If you're feeling stuck or think you're too late to break into tech, this story will show you what's possible.

▬▬▬▬▬▬  Thanks Isreal, for being so open and sharing your journey with the community 💙   ▬▬▬▬▬▬
