๐Ÿ› ๏ธ Rebuilding from Scratch: My DevOps + QA Automation Journey

Hey Devs!
I'm kicking off a career-building challenge to level up my skills in:

๐Ÿงช Pytest + Selenium testing
๐Ÿง Linux/Bash scripting
๐Ÿณ Docker + CI/CD (GitHub Actions)
โ˜๏ธ AWS + Terraform basics
๐Ÿ“Š SQL + API testing

๐ŸŽฏ Why This Challenge?
After 1.6 years as a Junior Software Engineer, followed by a career gap, Iโ€™m rebuilding momentum and aiming for:

โœ… QA Automation & DevOps roles
โœ… Real-world projects to showcase on GitHub

๐Ÿ”จ What Iโ€™ll Be Building:
๐Ÿ” Login automation (Selenium + Pytest)

๐Ÿ” REST API testing suite (requests + Pytest)

๐ŸŒ Flask app deployed to AWS EC2 (via Docker + GitHub Actions)

๐Ÿ› ๏ธ File organizers, CLI tools, and mini automation scripts

๐Ÿ’ฌ Iโ€™ll be posting weekly progress updates and projects โ€” follow along!
