Why I'm Transitioning to DevOps/SRE: Building My Career in Public


Hey Dev community! ?

I've just published the first post in a series documenting my transition to DevOps/SRE, focusing on financial services infrastructure automation. I wanted to share my journey with this community as I build my skills in public.

Why DevOps/SRE?


Several factors influenced my decision:

Technical Alignment

• Infrastructure and architecture over application development
• Automation over manual processes
• Systems thinking over isolated component work
• Terminal-based workflows over GUI reliance

Market Opportunity

• Consistent demand across industries, especially in financial services
• Resilience during economic fluctuations
• Emphasis on security and compliance expertise
• Remote-friendly work environments

My Learning Strategy


My approach centers around four principles:

1. Project-based learning: Building real-world implementations
2. Certifications as milestones: AWS, Terraform, and Kubernetes
3. Public documentation: Articles about what I learn
4. Specialization: Financial services compliance and security automation

Initial Focus Areas


I'm starting with these core areas:

• AWS Architecture Fundamentals
• Infrastructure as Code with Terraform
• Containerization Strategies
• Terminal-Based Workflow Optimization (Neovim, tmux, CLI tools)
