Hi everyone,

Hingi lang sana ako advice kung anong role or path yung bagay sa experience ko. Around 2+ years na ako working sa IT, medyo halo siya ng infrastructure, backend, at konting security. Balak ko sana mag-transition into Cloud/DevOps, then eventually Cybersecurity.

Here’s a summary of my experience:

Infrastructure & Deployment

Migrated on-premise systems to cloud-hosted environments
Handled Git-based deployments using SSH across multiple client domains
Automated backups for web files and databases
Set up multi-tenant architecture with dynamic subdomains
Managed Node.js applications using PM2

Security & Reliability

Implemented JWT authentication with token revocation
Applied secure coding practices (e.g., prepared statements)
Monitored logs and investigated suspicious activities
Performed basic vulnerability testing using Burp Suite, OWASP ZAP, Nikto, and SQLMap

Systems & Operations

Experienced in troubleshooting server issues (403/502 errors, DNS problems, misconfigurations)
Worked with Linux servers and hosting platforms (WHM/cPanel, DNS, Cloudflare)
Provided production support for live systems

Backend & Automation

Built and maintained systems using PHP, MySQL, and REST APIs
Migrated legacy databases and improved system architecture
Developed automation for workflows (documents, records, etc.)
Integrated APIs for mobile applications

Other Skills

Bash scripting for automation
Basic knowledge of Python and Go (for tooling)
Currently learning Docker and CI/CD

Question ko:
Based sa experience ko, anong role kaya yung pinaka fit sakin next? Okay ba mag target ng Junior DevOps / Cloud Engineer, or pwede na rin ba mag try ng entry-level sa Cybersecurity (like SOC or AppSec)?

Ano rin kaya yung dapat ko pang i-focus na skills para makapasok sa DevOps then eventually Cybersecurity?

Salamat sa sasagot 🙏
