I used to have a similar scheme for passwords. It only works well as long as one uses the same pattern for all passwords though.
This starts to break once you want to or need to change a password. I had to abandon the scheme once haveibeenpwned.com noticed me of a breach including one of my passwords. I could either remember a new pattern for that one site or change passwords of all my sites.
I chose to do the latter and used random passwords created by a password manager. That way I avoided running into the same problem again.
