About

Hi, I'm Jaime Frutos, a senior engineer with over 18 years of experience in the IT industry. Over the years, I've worked as a System Administrator, DevOps Engineer, Platform Engineer, and SRE.

After years of running mentoring sessions and technical interviews, one thing kept bothering me: creating realistic troubleshooting scenarios is too much work.

To simulate a simple issue, you need to:

• Provision infrastructure with Terraform.
• Configure everything with Ansible.
• Break things on purpose.
• Write validation scripts.
• Tear everything down to avoid cloud costs.

That's a lot of overhead for a 30-minute debugging exercise. What I actually wanted was troubleshooting practice, not building something from scratch.

That's why I decided to build Learn By Fixing: a platform with ready-to-use scenarios that allow you to immediately practice your troubleshooting skills.

I have always had a passion for teaching and sharing my knowledge with others. My goal is to create a place where engineers can practice, fail, and grow in a real environment, without the hassle of setting up everything from scratch. I'm excited to help you improve your debugging skills with the hands-on scenarios I've designed.

I'd love to hear your thoughts! If you have any feedback or would like to discuss your learning experience, please don't hesitate to let me know here or send me an email.

Let's improve together!
