I run the #1 DevOps Career Accelerator that helps engineers land DevOps jobs in 2-20 weeks.
What I do:
→ Design and maintain curriculum across the full DevOps stack: Linux, CI/CD, Kubernetes, GitOps, IaC, Cloud & Programming
→ Run production-grade Kubernetes clusters as a reference architecture to validate everything we teach
→ Weekly live coaching calls with members
→ Build the core systems: HomelabOS, DevOpsOS, Job Magnet OS, Interview OS
→ Develop personal branding and LinkedIn frameworks that help engineers attract recruiters
→ Review member portfolios, resumes, and interview prep
Results so far:
→ 800+ engineers in the program
→ Members working at Google, Microsoft, IBM, NVIDIA
→ Career changers landing roles in 2 weeks to 6 months
I went from nurse with a 4-year CV gap to Senior DevOps Engineer. KubeCraft is the system I built when I couldn't find one.

In the last 24 hours, 3 KubeCraft Career Accelerator members landed roles.
From Junior all the way to Lead SRE. Here's what they had in common so you can learn from it:
None of them relied on watching tutorials, asking ChatGPT for quick answers, or copying examples. They built real environments. Real clusters. Real problems to fix.
When interviewers asked about Kubernetes troubleshooting or GitOps workflows, they didn’t theorize. They walked through actual incidents they handled in their own setups. The same mindset you use in production is the one you develop when you’re building your own systems from scratch.
One member said:
“The homelab helped me land interviews, but the lifestyle of constant improvement is what changed me.”
Most people think the homelab is for the resume..
It’s not. It rewires how you think. A way of thinking thats actually valued by the job market.
Here's how you can build a Kubernetes homelab in 30 minutes: https://youtu.be/NkM6wQL2UvM

After 4 years of daily driving Arch Linux, I’m leaving.
Not for the reasons you’d expect.
I’m applying DevOps principles to my personal workflow: treating my workstations like Kubernetes clusters.

50k salary jump in one offer.
That is what one KubeCraft member just landed. And his family's life just changed because of it.
He was stuck. Underpaid. Undervalued.
Then he made a bet on himself and joined our community.
He learned Kubernetes. Not all of it.
Just enough to talk about it with confidence during interviews.
The process was rough. Stress testing from start to finish.
Multiple rounds designed to see if he would crack under pressure.
He did not crack. He got the offer.
This is what happens when you stop waiting and start building.
When you invest in skills that companies actually pay for.
When you surround yourself with people who are also pushing forward.
Kubernetes is not just a buzzword.
It is a skill that opens doors to higher salaries, better roles, and career security.
You do not need five years of experience.
You do not need every certification.
You need enough real knowledge to walk into an interview and show you can do the work.
That member bet on himself.
Now his family is better off because of it.
If you are sitting on the fence, wondering if you should finally learn Kubernetes or join a program that will push you forward, take this as your sign.
The next salary jump could be yours.
What is holding you back from doing what he did?
