📣 Just published: "Why I'm Transitioning to DevOps/SRE" I'm documenting my path to mastering infrastructure automation with a focus on financial services. Follow along as I build in public and share my learning process! joshuamichaelhall.com/blog/2023/05/1… #DevOps #SRE #CareerTransition

🚀 Just published my strategic roadmap for transitioning into #DevOps with a financial services focus. My plan combines AWS, Security+, and Terraform to build specialized skills in compliance automation and secure infrastructure. joshuamichaelhall.com/blog/2025/05/2…

My approach isn't about collecting random certifications. It's a deliberate sequence where each builds on the previous—starting with AWS SAA, then Security+, and finally Terraform—creating compounding expertise for financial services environments. #CloudSecurity #AWS #Terraform

Instead of theoretical preparation, I'm building a portfolio of four real-world projects that demonstrate financial services compliance solutions: Multi-account AWS security architecture Secure CI/CD pipeline Container deployment automation IaC platform #InfrastructureAsCode

What makes my approach different? A disciplined 64.5-hour weekly schedule: 33h learning 18h project implementation 7.5h networking 6h content creation This level of commitment is building the foundation for my career transition. #CareerTransition #TechCertifications

Key insight: Strategic focus beats broad coverage. By specializing in financial services requirements (PCI-DSS, SOX, GDPR, Basel III), I'm creating differentiated value and targeting higher-compensation opportunities. #FinancialServices #ComplianceAutomation
