I grew up in Tirunelveli where quality education felt out of reach. Every person who believed in me reinforced the same truth: Education takes you places. When I finally had the power to help others, I knew I had to act.

Personal Commitment — No other platform does this

Every learner who completes a career path gets a 1-on-1 career session with me personally. Not a bot, not a template. A real conversation about your next move.

If this platform helps just 10 people land better opportunities, I've changed 10 families.

That matters more to me than any metric.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know before getting started.

TheSimplifiedTech offers specialized learning paths for engineers across multiple domains — cloud architecture, DevOps, AI/ML, system design, and more. Instead of generic video courses, we provide structured career paths with interactive lessons, real-world scenarios, cloud service comparisons across AWS/Azure/GCP, personalized paths from assessments, and hands-on labs — all designed to accelerate your growth in your actual job.

Not at all. Every career path starts with a Foundation Pack that covers the basics — CLI, networking, Git, and web architecture. If you already know the basics, you can skip ahead to your chosen path. Each lesson is written in plain English with practical examples.

Each career path has 3 progressive levels. Most learners complete Level 1 in 2–4 weeks spending 30 minutes a day. A full path (all 3 levels) typically takes 2–3 months at that pace. You can learn at your own speed — there are no deadlines.

Our career paths are designed around real job requirements, so everything you learn is directly applicable. You get interview prep resources, scenario-based practice modeled on real interview questions, and a cloud comparison tool that demonstrates multi-cloud fluency — a skill employers actively look for. While we cannot guarantee outcomes, our goal is to give you the strongest possible foundation to pursue your next role.

The free plan gives you access to the Foundation Pack, Level 1 of all career paths, limited interview prep resources, and the cloud comparison tool. Pro unlocks all 3 levels, full interview prep, personalized paths from assessments, all scenarios, and advanced features.

Absolutely. You can cancel anytime from your account settings. You will keep Pro access until the end of your billing period. We also offer a 7-day money-back guarantee if you are not satisfied.
