🚀 DevOps: The First 90-Day Survival Guide (85-page PDF)

From Lost Junior to Trusted DevOps Engineer

Starting your first DevOps job can feel like chaos: YAML you don't fully get, pipelines breaking, dashboards screaming, and the constant fear of asking the "wrong" question. And the impostor syndrome whispers you don't belong.

The most successful DevOps engineers don't improvise, they follow a clear roadmap.

This guide gives you that roadmap: clarity for your first 90 days, showing you where to focus, how to avoid trust-breaking mistakes, and how to become a reliable engineer.

Why This Guide Is Different?

I didn't repackage blog posts. I've been where you are: 15 years in IT (4 in DevOps), now a Technical Lead. I've been the only DevOps at a startup, and part of larger teams. I learned (often the hard way) what earns trust and what breaks production.

This guide is the survival map I wish I had, so you can skip the painful mistakes and fast-forward to impact.

Your first 90 days don't have to feel like survival.

They can be the launchpad for the rest of your career.

👉 Are you ready to stop feeling lost and start showing up as the engineer your team can count on?
