Building DevOps Skills That Actually Work
We started Turboevolv because we kept meeting talented people who couldn't break into DevOps—not because they lacked potential, but because they lacked practical experience.
Since 2023, we've focused on one thing: giving students real infrastructure to work with. Not simulations. Not sanitized demos. Actual environments where mistakes teach you something useful.
How We Got Here
Three years ago, our founder Hagen Lindström was hiring for his own startup. He interviewed dozens of candidates with certifications—but most couldn't deploy a basic application without extensive handholding.
That gap became the foundation for Turboevolv. We brought in people who'd spent years in production environments, not just classrooms. Our first cohort in autumn 2023 had twelve students. By spring 2024, ten of them were working in DevOps roles.
We don't guarantee jobs—we can't control hiring decisions. But we can give you the experience that makes employers take you seriously.
What We Believe
Our approach comes from watching what actually helps people transition into DevOps careers.
Real Infrastructure Beats Theory
You'll work with the same tools companies use: Kubernetes clusters that occasionally fail, CI/CD pipelines that need debugging, monitoring systems that generate actual alerts.
We've seen students learn more from fixing a broken deployment than from weeks of perfect tutorials. Mistakes in our lab environment cost nothing—but they teach you how to prevent expensive ones later.
Our infrastructure runs 24/7. You can experiment at 2 AM if that's when you think best. Some of our best learning happens when students try something we didn't plan for.
The People Behind the Platform
We're a small team—five full-time people, plus rotating instructors from local companies. Everyone here has worked in roles where downtime meant real consequences.
Hagen Lindström
Founder & Lead Instructor
Spent eight years managing infrastructure for fintech companies before starting Turboevolv. Still gets called when former clients have fire drills—which keeps his teaching grounded in current reality. Built his first CI/CD pipeline in 2016 and has been fixing other people's ever since.
Our instructors rotate based on availability, but they all share one trait: they've spent more time debugging production issues than teaching. That experience shows in how they approach training—practical, direct, and focused on what actually matters when you're on call at midnight.
How We Structure Learning
Our programs run for six months. That's not arbitrary—it's the minimum time we've found for building genuine capability, not just familiarity.
Foundation Phase
Eight weeks on Linux fundamentals, networking basics, and version control. Sounds boring, but you can't troubleshoot containers if you don't understand processes and namespaces.
Tool Integration
Ten weeks building and connecting systems. You'll set up monitoring, configure automation, manage deployments. Each week adds complexity—by week twelve, you're juggling multiple services.
Project Work
Final eight weeks on a substantial project. Most students build a complete deployment pipeline for a real application. Some tackle infrastructure migration scenarios. You choose based on where you want to work.
Our Next Cohort Starts October 2025
We're accepting applications now for the autumn program. Space is limited—we've never taken more than fifteen students, and we won't start compromising on that.
