I know the feeling of learning all these amazing DevOps and cloud skills, yet wondering: How do I actually put this into practice? A while back, someone guided me to try e-commerce projects. At first, I wasn’t sure how it would help but it became a game-changer: - I got to deploy live systems, handle traffic, and automate processes, skills I’d only practiced in tutorials before. - Every problem I solved gave me real proof of what I could do, not just theory. - It built my confidence, showing me that my knowledge could create actual impact. What I realized is this: growth doesn’t just come from learning, it comes from doing, building, and applying your skills in ways that matter. Have you tried turning your DevOps knowledge into real projects? How did it feel?

After signing my first client with a very low budget, an old colleague contacted me on LinkedIn saying he needed help with some DevOps work. I told him I could do it — but only through Upwork because I needed help building reviews. It wasn’t a high-profile or high-budget project, but I signed him anyway. After completing these jobs, I got 5-star reviews and hit 100% JSS. And Client #1 started a long-term collaboration with me. Then the day came that every freelancer waits for — a client reached out to me on their own, without any proposal. We signed a contract on my terms. I’m now working with them and expecting more work ahead. I’m still in my struggling phase, but I love my small wins.A girl who knew nothing about freelancing left her job and started something completely new with high goals, big thinking and a persistent attitude. I believe these are small steps toward my bigger vision. I’d be more than happy if any of you take your first difficult step because of this story and if anyone needs help, I’d love to support you.
