There is an old saying in software development, one must be a "jack of all trades, master of some".
I can read your experience, but I cannot understand why you would be worried? How would you feel if you didn't have that diverse experience? Would it be good that you'd be ignorant of all those things?
Awareness of things is always good. If you have never mastered something, go now, do not wait. Find something you love and master it.
Your networking background is going to serve you very well. You would be surprised how many software developers have no idea how a network works. They have no idea how packets get from point A to point B. Some don't even know about packets that aren't HTTP over TCP.
Your diverse background is a strength, not a weakness.
Java Web Developer with a passion for Spring and cloud computing. Know a thing or two about AWS. Trying to learn NodeJS lately with the help of TypeScript.
It is great to hear that! :)
I was worried because maybe I could end up not mastering anything, but now I think I know what I should do. Keep experimenting, but trying to master Java web development, which is my main skill right now. What comes beyond that is a welcome extra, always.
Yes, I understand that, it was very helpful to understand AWS and get me certified, my networking background. Now I use this knowledge to solve performance issues, configure applications better and so on.
