"wheelhouse" は文脈からすると「得意分野」の意味があると思いますが、辞書を見ます。
・Oxford English Dictionary: A place or situation in which one is advantageously at ease: as the campaign swings to the south, that should be right in his wheelhouse ・Vocabulary.com: A wheelhouse is literally a small enclosure on a boat or ship that houses the steering wheel. The captain navigates the ship from the wheelhouse. On land, though, something in your wheelhouse is in your area of expertise.
The term wheelhouse was first used in the mid-1800s to describe the area of a steamboat that enclosed its steering wheel. You can use the word to describe the part of any boat where the captain steers, though it's more common these days to call an actual wheelhouse a bridge or pilothouse. Now, a wheelhouse often refers to something more general. For example, if you’re an animal lover, finding homes for pets is right in your wheelhouse.
