The real engineering behind the buzzwords — automation, CI/CD, infrastructure as code, and what it's actually like to run things in production.
Honest conversations about breaking into tech, switching roles, navigating the industry, and building a career that actually makes sense for you.
The human side of working in tech — imposter syndrome, remote work, diversity, burnout, and everything the documentation doesn't cover.

The SDGOPS Podcast is hosted by Sitar Gold, a DevOps engineer and AWS Community Builder who also creates content under the handle Sitar Daniel. She started in a Network Operations Center before moving into DevOps, and she brings that hands-on engineering background to every conversation.
Three areas. Cloud & DevOps — automation, CI/CD, infrastructure as code, and what it's actually like to run things in production. Career & Growth — breaking into tech, switching roles, and building a career that makes sense for you. Tech Culture — imposter syndrome, remote work, diversity, burnout, and everything the documentation doesn't cover.
Yes. Episodes are made for both seasoned engineers and people early in their journey. Concepts get explained in plain language rather than assuming years of production experience, and a recurring theme is career transitions into DevOps and cloud roles — including Sitar Gold's own move from network operations into engineering.
