About

Welcome to My Blog!

I’m Rob, and this blog is a compilation of my personal experiences, insights, and curated resources for those looking to land their dream job in software engineering, and DevOps. Over the years, I’ve worked in various roles in tech, from building tools as a software engineer, to managing projects as a Senior Technical Project Manager. Each step along the way has given me valuable knowledge that I want to share with you!

My Journey

I’ve taken a non-linear path in tech, starting as a software engineer and moving through a variety of roles:
- Software Engineer: Building tools that made development more efficient.
- Front-End Development: Creating engaging user interfaces and experiences.
- Back-End Development: Optimizing systems and databases.
- SDET: Helping teams automate and test their software.
- Release Manager: Overseeing smooth product deployments.
- Technical Project Manager/Senior Technical Project Manager: Leading projects and ensuring successful delivery.

This diverse career path has provided me with a wide range of perspectives and skills. I’ve seen first-hand how different roles contribute to building great products, and I’ve learned a lot along the way that I believe can help you too.

Why I Started This Blog

I created this blog to document my progress and share what I’ve learned along the way. I wanted to create a comprehensive resource that highlights where to find job opportunities, how to effectively prepare for interviews, and provides practical advice for job seekers and professionals looking to advance in their careers. Through this blog, I aim to provide you with useful, actionable content that can help you succeed in your job search, career progression, and technical interview preparation.

What You’ll Find Here

Whether you’re a beginner or experienced professional, this blog has something for you:
- Job Search Resources: Where to apply, what to look for, and tips for targeting the right companies.
- Interview Prep: Best practices, common problems to solve, and tools for practicing coding challenges.
- Career Tips: How to navigate your career path, whether you’re transitioning between roles or aiming for advancement.

Personal Experiences: Real stories, challenges, and lessons I’ve learned throughout my career journey.
I also believe that learning doesn’t stop at reading. That’s why I encourage interaction through comments, feedback, and sharing your own experiences. Together, we can create a community that supports each other in the ever-evolving tech landscape.

Why Blogger?

You might be wondering why I’m using Blogger instead of other platforms like GitHub, WordPress, or building my own website. The answer is simple: Blogger provides an easy-to-use, straightforward platform that lets me focus on what matters most—delivering valuable content to you. It’s quick to set up and keeps things simple, so I can dedicate my energy to helping you navigate your career, without the added distractions of managing complex website features. 

That being said, in the future, I may move to a self-hosted website to expand and enhance the blog. But for now, I’m happy with this platform as it allows me to concentrate on what’s truly important—providing helpful, actionable content for you.
