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.
