Funny enough, I was initially trained in .NET, but ended up being placed in a DevOps project right out of college—with zero background in it. As a fresher, I didn’t know much, but instead of being intimidated, I found myself excited to dive in. I was working 12+ hours some days, not because I had to, but because learning everything from scratch and figuring things out was genuinely fun. I’d constantly seek out knowledge, ask for KT (knowledge transfer) from team leads, and explore tools and scripts on my own time. Over time, I went from Googling basic commands to automating complex pipelines, provisioning secure AWS infrastructure with Terraform, and solving real-world deployment challenges. That experience made me fall in love with DevOps—it’s a space where you're always learning, solving problems, and building systems that empower developers. And that curiosity and hustle still drive me today.
