I really admire your ambition. And I'd guess that you have enough experience to land some kind of IT role, if you keep looking.
It also sounds like what you wanted was to move to an IT role at your current company -- and that HR initially said it was going to happen. This might be a good time to... go back and talk to HR again. (If nothing else, to get clarity on exactly what happened this time -- and what your prospects will be for moving to IT at some future point.) It also seems like whatever department has your app now would really like to also have the guy who built it...
If you feel like you need more certifications, there's cheap online courses you could take, just to beef up your resume. But with your work on this app, it sounds like you have real work experience already. As long as you can convince a future employer of that, that could help you land an IT job.
Hi, thank you so much. I'm going to go back to HR and see if something changed, or if there was some kind of miscommunication.
Would you be willing to point me in the direction of some certifications? I've applied for a ton of junior engineering roles, but haven't even managed to land an interview where I'm able to convince them of my experience. My GitHub is better populated than most college grads, but it's a lot of small scripts, configs, and some things I did for fun.
