👋 Hey there, I'm Kushal Gupta

I'm a DevOps and Platform Engineer with end-to-end ownership across the product lifecycle—how teams design, ship, deploy, operate, and improve software in production. My day-to-day work sits at the intersection of platform engineering, DevOps, cloud engineering, AI/ML deployments, and MLOps, with a focus on reliability, security, and measurable business outcomes.

What I do today: DevOps, platform engineering, cloud-native architecture, and production ML/MLOps infrastructure. What I've done: architecture design for distributed systems, and operating production platforms under real traffic and commercial load. What I'm building toward: full-stack application development, AI engineering, and stronger software engineering practices—I learn and write code in personal time through side projects and open source. I collaborate closely with product, engineering, and operations teams—on-site, hybrid, or remote, depending on what the role and team need.

💼 Where I've Done It

Monk CI — DevOps Engineer · Mar 2026 – Present

Building the production platform for an AI-powered CI/CD SaaS from the ground up on GCP: GitHub App control plane, ephemeral Compute Engine runners, GKE services, distributed caching, and compliance-ready delivery (Terraform, Atlantis, Argo CD, OpenTelemetry).

Impact: Greenfield platform ownership · up to 80% faster CI · SOC 2 + ISO 27001–aligned controls · reusable CI with semantic versioning.

Purplle.com — DevOps Engineer · Jan 2023 – Feb 2026

Owned production infrastructure and platform work for India's leading beauty e-commerce company—core commerce, AdTech, POS, data/ML platforms, and legacy admin systems. Hybrid GCP + AWS production (e.g. GKE workloads with Route 53, ALB, VPC, and WAF on AWS for AdTech and edge traffic).

Impact: US$160M+ business backbone · 10M+ users · 40%+ faster code delivery · 76% MTTR reduction · US$120K+ savings (30% cloud spend cut) · 99.9% availability through peak traffic.

🛠️ How I Build

Production focus: Terraform, Ansible, Helm, Argo CD, Jenkins, GitLab CI, GitHub Actions · Kubernetes · OpenTelemetry

Cloud platforms (production experience on GCP and AWS):

Area GCP AWS
Compute & containers GKE, Cloud Run, Compute Engine EKS, ECS/Fargate, EC2
Networking & edge Cloud Load Balancing, Cloud DNS, VPC, Cloud Armor ALB, Route 53, VPC, WAF
Data & messaging Cloud SQL, Pub/Sub, BigQuery RDS, SNS/SQS, Athena
Identity & secrets IAM, Secret Manager IAM, Secrets Manager
Observability Cloud Monitoring, OpenTelemetry CloudWatch, OpenTelemetry

Production hybrid: GKE workloads with AWS edge networking (Route 53, ALB, VPC, WAF) at Purplle; current Monk CI platform on GCP. Kubernetes and IaC patterns apply across both clouds.

Data & AI (deployments / infra): MySQL, MongoDB, Redis, Elasticsearch, Kafka, Qdrant, Vertex AI
Security: Zero Trust, RBAC, secrets management, compliance (SOC 2, ISO 27001, DPDP)

Learning & personal time: Python, JavaScript, TypeScript, React, Node.js, FastAPI—full-stack and AI application patterns through side projects and open source.
