Maneesha Mendis

Hello! I’m an experienced IT professional with over 10 years of hands-on industry experience, specializing in Linux system administration, Cloud computing, DevOps, Middleware, Docker, and Kubernetes. I’m also a certified instructor with the Cisco Networking Academy and Red Hat Academy, delivering professional IT training to students and working professionals alike.

My teaching style is all about practical, real-world learning. I believe that the best way to understand IT is by doing it — not just reading about it. In every lesson, I focus on live system demonstrations, real-time problem-solving, and practical labs where you’ll configure, deploy, and troubleshoot actual systems. From setting up servers to managing cloud resources, and deploying containers with Docker and Kubernetes, my sessions are built around the skills employers are actively looking for.

The structure of my lessons is dynamic and interactive. We start with a brief explanation of core concepts, followed by live demonstrations and practical exercises. You’ll work on real scenarios and case studies based on challenges I’ve encountered in my career. This ensures you not only understand the theory but also gain valuable experience handling situations you’ll face in the workplace.

My sessions are perfect for both IT students beginning their journey and working professionals wanting to upgrade or switch into DevOps, cloud, or system administration roles. I focus on making complex subjects clear, structured, and easy to grasp, while constantly relating them to how they are applied in real environments.

By the end of each session, you’ll have practical skills you can confidently use on the job — whether it’s managing Linux servers, working with cloud platforms, deploying applications in containers, or handling middleware services. If you’re serious about building job-ready skills and working confidently in modern IT environments, I look forward to having you in my class.
