I'm Dhruv Mistry, Associate DevOps Engineer at Cleanstart, based in Ahmedabad, India. I graduated with a B.E. in Computer Science and Engineering from Gujarat Technological University (2020–2024) and have spent two years designing and running cloud-native infrastructure on GCP, AWS, and Hetzner.
I started as an AWS Engineer at Oneknotone, owning pipelines for an Unreal Engine product and writing Python and Bash that cut about 5 hours of weekly toil. At PearlThoughts I moved from intern to engineer in July 2025 and led an AWS → Hetzner Kubernetes migration with Terraform that dropped that project's cloud cost by 30%. At Cleanstart I own production GKE for a Customer Data Platform (CDP) — ClickHouse, Kafka, Redis, MongoDB Atlas — plus Cloud Build, ArgoCD, Linkerd, and a Prometheus / Grafana / VictoriaMetrics stack. GCP Workload Identity replaced static service-account keys.
Outside work I build personal projects: KubePulse, a push-based Kubernetes dashboard, and mybash, a one-command Linux bash setup. I also maintain Arch and Hyprland setups and share Linux work on LinuxMitra. I care about clean automation, least-privilege security, and infrastructure teams can actually trust.
