A working DevOps Engineer's public journey to master modern DevOps + AI engineering — documented daily, built openly, shared honestly.
I'm a DevOps Engineer with hands-on experience in AWS and Linux, currently working with AWS CodePipeline for CI/CD and shell scripting for automation.
The industry is shifting fast. AI is changing how we build pipelines, manage infrastructure, and operate systems. I decided to go all in — learning modern DevOps tooling + AI integration from scratch, in public, for 90 days.
Every mistake, every fix, every lesson — documented here.
By Day 90, I will have:
- ✅ A complete DevOps + AI portfolio with real projects
- ✅ Hands-on experience with Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform, GitHub Actions
- ✅ AI-integrated workflows: AIOps, MLOps, AI agents for automation
- ✅ A capstone project deployed end-to-end with full observability
- ✅ Interview-ready skills for high-paying DevOps + AI Engineer roles
