🚀 My Journey Into Web Development & DevOps (and Why I’m Writing Here)

Hey everyone 👋,

I’m Khaled Saifullah, a CSE student at American International University - Bangladesh. I’ve always been curious about how technology powers the world around us, and over the last couple of years, I started diving into Web Development.

So far, I’ve been working with:

• Frontend: React, NextJs , SvelteKit, Tailwind CSS , JavaScript

• Backend: Node.js, Express, MongoDB ,PHP ,MySql, C# ,MS Sql

• Other tools: Git, Firebase,Vercel ,Netlify

Recently, I’ve also started exploring DevOps & Cloud—things like Linux, Docker, Kubernetes, and CI/CD pipelines. It’s a whole new world 🌍, and I’m excited to see how it connects with web development and backend systems.

🐧 My First Step: Learning Linux

Currently, I’m focusing on Linux, since mastering DevOps begins with building a strong foundation in it.

I set up my virtual machine in VirtualBox, both manually and automatically. While doing this, I ran into a few issues—but thanks to ChatGPT and other online resources, I managed to solve them. Through this process, I found myself genuinely enjoying Linux and discovering new things every day.

Let’s see how this journey goes 🚀. I’ll be sharing my learning experiences in Linux here, so if you’re interested, stay connected with me and follow along!

🌱 Why I’m Starting This Blog

I believe in learning in public. Writing about what I learn not only helps me remember it better but also lets me share it with others who might be on the same journey.

Through this blog, I’ll be sharing:

• My projects and what I learn while building them

• Beginner-friendly guides on React, SvelteKit ,Next js, and backend development

• My DevOps journey—from Linux basics to Docker, Kubernetes, and cloud tools

• Honest reflections on being a student trying to break into tech

🙌 Let’s Connect

If you’re also a student, a beginner in web dev, or someone curious about DevOps, I’d love to connect with you. You can follow my journey here on Hashnode, and feel free to share your experiences too!

This is just the beginning 🚀—let’s see where it takes us!
