🚀 6-Month DevOps Roadmap (Learning in Public Plan)
Hi, I’m Mohd Yusuf — a passionate learner exploring the world of Data Analytics, DevOps, and Cloud Computing through hands-on practice and real-world projects.
I believe in learning in public, so I document my journey by sharing weekly progress, notes, mistakes, and lessons. My goal is to build strong fundamentals in Excel, SQL, Python, Power BI, Linux, and Cloud technologies while growing consistently every day.
As a fresher, I focus on practical skills over shortcuts. I enjoy breaking down complex topics into simple explanations and learning by doing.
On this blog, you’ll find: ✔️ Beginner-friendly tutorials ✔️ Learning roadmaps ✔️ Practice projects ✔️ Career insights ✔️ Honest experiences
If you’re also learning, switching careers, or building skills in tech, let’s connect and grow together 🤝
