Kalin Pretorius is a HyperionDev Software Engineer bootcamp graduate and a former IT Operations specialist who now works as a professional in the DevOp field. He shares his experience of transitioning into the DevOps world as well as his tips and suggestions for those considering a DevOp career.

I first learned about the Software Development Lifecycle in 2020, when I completed my HyperionDev Software Engineer bootcamp. It made me realise how important software development has been in the modern world; it also introduced me to new ways of thinking, and solving problems, and it made me rethink what can be achieved with software development. Since then, I’ve transitioned from a IT Operations focused background to the world of DevOps.

Currently, I’m a DevOps engineer at a leading eCommerce platform in South Africa, and as the eCommerce industry has grown over the past few years (and with the acceleration of online services due to the global pandemic) the demand for skilled DevOps Engineers has increased. I thought I would share everything I’ve learned about DevOps, so that more people discover this burgeoning, rewarding career field for themselves.
