Looking for advice how to find my path?

hey, I currently work as a Senior Cybersecurity Specialist, but I don’t have ‘my task’ sometimes I’m doing automation, sometimes analysis. I want to find my path. I really like coding and I can see it brings me a lot of fun. But I’m not a programmer I use AI, I have some basic Python and JS knowledge, I know HTML, CSS, Bootstrap, and some C# from university.

I built a small app in django for IP and domain management that propagates them to external systems like NGFW, Proxy, and WAF, with retention tracking and a dashboard showing who added what, when, and why. I got some linux knowledge, sending logs to siem by rsyslog, form validation. It made me incredibly happy, I was so excited building it.

Now my problem: I’m just maintaining this app, my development has stalled. At work, I’m the only one with any programming background, so none of my colleagues can help me, and even my boss doesn’t understand what I’m doing. Im searching myself „work”, I want to focus on one skill, improve it, and eventually find a new job something between cybersecurity and programming. I also have SOAR experience with creating playbooks and automation.
