Hi there 👋

I'm Dhruv – a Senior Cloud Operations Engineer building privacy-first open source tools and scalable infrastructure solutions.

By day, I solve enterprise scale infrastructure challenges at GFL Environmental, affecting millions of households across North America. By (well, also) day, I ship open source projects and write about DevOps practices at MyCloudCondo.

🔭 Current Projects

KUYAN – Privacy-focused net worth tracker

  • Local-first Python/Streamlit application
  • Your financial data never leaves your machine
  • Inspired by Kuber (wealth deity) + Yantra (tool) from Hindu philosophy
  • Suitable for families, individuals, and businesses

MyCloudCondo – Technical blog on Infrastructure & DevOps

  • Deep dives into Terraform, AWS, and Platform Engineering
  • Storytelling through the fictional MyCoCo company's growth journey
  • Practical, enterprise-focused guidance for intermediate practitioners

🌱 Currently Learning

  • AI-powered infrastructure search and automation patterns at an enterprise scale
  • Google Cloud Enabled Landing Zone networking and architecture

✅ Community-Focused – Sharing learnings, collaborating openly

👯 Looking to Collaborate On

  • Infrastructure automation that actually gets adopted by teams (not just theoretical)
  • Privacy-first applications where data stays local-first
  • Open source projects solving real enterprise infrastructure problems at scale
  • Making Infrastructure as Code more accessible through better tooling and documentation
