"Master the basics. Then practice them every day without fail." - John C. Maxwell

I'm a back-end engineer specializing in Ruby with a terminal-centric development workflow. After completing 90% of Launch School's back-end curriculum, I've designed my own "FinOps Engineering Mastery" program focusing on DevOps/SRE and Platform Engineering for financial services.

• Languages: Ruby, Python (learning), Shell Scripting, SQL
• Dev Environment: Neovim, tmux, Git, Terminal-centric workflow
• Infrastructure: Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform, AWS
• Databases: PostgreSQL
• Methodologies: TDD, Infrastructure as Code, DevSecOps

I'm following a structured 24-month roadmap to become a Platform Engineer in Financial Services:

• 🔄 Phase 1: Foundation Building - Linux, Docker, Git, Terraform
• 🔄 Phase 2: Cloud and Infrastructure Automation - AWS, Ruby/Python Automation
• 🔄 Phase 3: Container Orchestration and Monitoring - Kubernetes, Prometheus
• 🔄 Phase 4: DevSecOps and Reliability Engineering - Security, SRE Practices
• 🔄 Phase 5: Advanced Platform Engineering - HA Architecture, Service Mesh
• 🔄 Phase 6: Financial Services Platform Engineering - Compliance Automation

• 🚀 Ruby Microservice with CI/CD Pipeline
• 🏗️ Infrastructure as Code for Financial Applications
• 🔒 Kubernetes Platform for Financial Services
