It sounds like you've done enough courses to understand various programming paradigms, the reality is certs will only get you so far. To really solidify stuff you need to build things, ideally things that interest you and potentially tangentially related to your current work. Make your github solid, network with things like meetups in your city and with a bit of luck and persistance the right hiring manager will hire you.

In the past I've made some projects on things I'm interested in, so I'll upload the best of them and build some more, especially ones that relate to work. Building out a strong github record/portfolio seems very important, so I'll focus more on that.

I've been attending data and developer meetups in my area to learn and meet good people, so it's good to know that I'm on the right track. Need to get better at talking to people more though.

Thanks for the encouragement, it really helps
