Kennedy Shearer

Junior DevOps Engineer | Linux Enthusiast | Cloud & Automation Learner

I am an aspiring DevOps Engineer focused on Linux, containers, cloud infrastructure, and automation.

My journey into DevOps started with wanting to understand what happens behind the applications we use every day. How systems are built, deployed, maintained, and automated.

Currently, I am gaining hands-on experience through the KubeCraft Career Accelerator and Cloud Engineer Academy, where I am building practical skills through labs, projects, and hands-on environments.

I enjoy learning by building. Whether it is configuring Linux systems, writing scripts, creating containers, or troubleshooting issues, I learn best by doing.

Things I've Built

Multi-Container Application

My first real step into working with containers.

A live dashboard application built with Docker Compose to understand how multiple services work together.

The project includes:

  • A Bash updater container that fetches data from an API every 30 seconds
  • An Nginx container serving the dashboard
  • Custom Dockerfiles
  • Container networking
  • Multi-container setup using Docker Compose

This project helped me understand how applications are packaged and run across multiple services.

Joke Dashboard

AWS Cloud Architecture Projects

Cloud-focused projects around building scalable and reliable environments.

Projects include:

These projects helped me understand how cloud services, networking, and automation connect in real systems.

Kubernetes Homelab

Coming Soon

A personal lab environment where I will apply Kubernetes and DevOps concepts hands-on.

Planned focus areas:

  • Container orchestration
  • Networking
  • Monitoring and observability
  • Infrastructure automation
  • GitOps workflows

Python

Continuously improving my Python skills and using it for automation and tooling.

I use Python to connect software development with infrastructure work.
