As a WordPress & Shopify developer, I wanted to skill up beyond traditional web development. Cloud computing aligned perfectly with my interests and that decision has paid off.
The idea started with a simple Instagram reel: 100 seconds of motivation → 100 minutes of high-level cloud concepts → 100 hours of focused cloud learning. That turned into a disciplined 100-day learning journey, which I started in October 2025, alongside my full-time role at WebArtsy, a Netherlands-based digital agency.
What I’ve completed so far:
- DevOps & Cloud prerequisites + Linux fundamentals
- Networking fundamentals (practical understanding of how the internet & VPCs work)
- Git & version control (FreeCodeCamp)
- AWS Cloud Practitioner Essentials
- Hands-on AWS work:
- Launched WordPress on EC2 with VPC
- Worked with S3, EBS, IAM, Lambda, CloudWatch, CloudTrail, EC2, VPC, CloudFormation
- Python fundamentals (FreeCodeCamp)
- Python automation & cloud prerequisite labs (KodeKloud)
Projects built:
- Blackjack game (Python)
- Log file analysis & summarization tool
- Multiple smaller automation and scripting tasks
This journey isn’t just about passing exams, it’s about thinking like a cloud architect, building real systems, and preparing to deliver scalable, secure solutions to clients.
I’m still learning. Still building. Still showing up every day.
Cloud is not a shortcut but it is leverage.
