Hello all Devops & Developers!
My name is Srikanth,and this is the first post in my public learning journey. I’m currently a DevOps Engineer at Zoho Corporation but my path to get here was anything but straight. This blog is my attempt to document my continuous learning in the world of DevOps and share the lessons I pick up along the way.
My story begins in a small village where the idea of a career in cutting-edge technology felt a world away. I worked hard, secured a place at Anna University in Chennai and pursued a degree in… Leather Technology. It was a fascinating field and I was proud to be placed in a core company right after graduation.
But just four months in, I had a nagging feeling that I was on the wrong path. The work wasn’t igniting my passion. I made a tough decision: I quit my job to chase a curiosity that had been growing for a while – the world of cloud computing.
This was my pivot point. I enrolled in the AWS re/Start program, a full-time, online-based course that takes you from zero to cloud-ready. I immersed myself, studied relentlessly and earned my first AWS certification. That certification was more than a piece of paper; it was my entry ticket. In August 2023, I landed my first tech role as a DevOps Engineer at a startup.
For nine incredible months, I learned more than I ever thought possible. The startup environment was a trial by fire, and it solidified my love for building, automating, and solving complex problems. That experience paved the way for my current role at Zoho Corporation.
Why I’m Sharing This Journey
Even though I’m now working in the field, I firmly believe that in DevOps, you are never done learning. The landscape of tools and best practices is constantly evolving. My goal for this blog is to create a space for continuous growth. This won’t be a polished tutorial series from an expert. This is a real-time log from a practicing engineer who is always learning.
Let’s Learn and Grow Together
I’m putting my learning goals out there to hold myself accountable, but I also want to build something more: a community.
My vision is for this blog to be an interactive space. Join me in the comments with your own studies and queries. Let’s share learning skills, help each other with debugging complex issues, and grow as a community. We can all become better engineers when we grow as a group. This is our space to learn and grow, together.
What’s Next?
The journey is ongoing. I’m glad to have you along for the ride.
