I'm excited to announce a strategic career transition, building on my Ruby back-end programming foundation from Launch School to specialize in DevOps/SRE with a focus on Financial Services Platform Engineering. This carefully planned path leverages my existing terminal-centric workflow, Ruby expertise, and previous IT infrastructure experience to create a high-value specialization where technology meets financial services compliance and security. My 24-month "FinOps Engineering Mastery" roadmap includes: Mastering infrastructure as code, containerization, and cloud architecture Obtaining key certifications including AWS Solutions Architect, Kubernetes Administrator, and more Building a portfolio of platform engineering projects specifically designed for financial services environments Developing expertise in compliance automation and security for regulated industries I'll be documenting this self-directed learning journey through technical articles and open-source contributions. If you work in financial services technology, cloud infrastructure, or platform engineering, I'd welcome the opportunity to connect!
