TALENT FORGE · NEXTGEN PLAYGROUND

I train the next generation of DevOps engineers

Talent Forge is the hands-on mentorship program I run through NextGen Playground. It turns aspiring engineers, especially here in Cameroon and across Africa, into production-ready DevOps practitioners through real projects, mentorship, and a community that builds together.

Structured DevOps programs

Curriculum-driven tracks covering Linux, Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform, CI/CD, and the cloud, in the right order, at the right depth.

Real-world hands-on labs

Not tutorials, actual infrastructure. Students deploy to real environments, break things, fix them, and leave with projects they can show in interviews.

1:1 guidance & reviews

Cohort-based mentorship with code reviews, project feedback, and honest career advice about what actually gets people hired.

A community that ships

Engineers learning alongside each other, asking questions, sharing solutions, and growing together. No one is stuck alone.
