Documenting My Shift to Platform Engineering

I am in the middle of a career shift.

For years, I worked close to legacy database systems. That experience taught me how to think carefully, solve production problems, and respect reliability.

Now I am moving toward platform engineering.

To make that shift visible and real, I started a public GitHub repository:

legacy-dba-to-platform-engineer

This repository is my working log. I will use it to document what I learn, what I build, and how my thinking changes over time.

The goal is simple:

• share the transition openly
• create a clear record of progress
• connect my database background with modern platform work

I want this repo to be useful not only for me, but also for anyone making a similar move.

If you are interested in databases, infrastructure, automation, or platform engineering, you can follow the journey there.
