🏆 Why CoderCo Exists
CoderCo was born from my own struggle - while still in university studying mechanical engineering, in 2020, I spent my final year job-hunting, in preparation for my graduation, with no luck; I taught myself tech. I discovered AWS/Cloud, taught myself the skills, and landed a role in just 2 months of graduating.
Now, as a Lead DevOps Engineer, I’ve distilled that journey into a proven method - and I want to help others do the same.
If you want to break into DevOps in 2025 - Linux is the first tool that you learn, and becoming well-grounded in Linux will take your career to moon.
