With a new set of technical and cloud skills but no direct experience, making a career shift to DevOps engineering seemed challenging. However, my background in business analysis, operations, and project management provided a complementary soft skills foundation that many peers lacked. I could understand the business context and needs that drove the use of technologies.
I embarked on an intensive self-study program to learn skills such as Linux, Docker, Kubernetes, Git, and more. I earned certifications in AWS Solutions Architect, Developer and SysOps to validate my knowledge in cloud infrastructure and services.
After months of dedication, I successfully transitioned to a DevOps Engineer role at ACME Technologies. I was hired to help optimize build, deployment, and infrastructures processes to enable faster and more robust releases. Within a year, I was leading strategic infrastructure automation initiatives to support a migration to containerized microservices.
My non-traditional path to DevOps reflects my life-long passion for continuous learning and drive to push outside of my comfort zone. What I lacked in formal technical education, I made up for in adaptability, self-motivation, and a growth mindset. My journey is a reminder that a career transition is challenging but possible with persistence. I look forward to continuing my evolution as a DevOps leader.
