About

I'm Deepak Gupta — a full-time technologist based in Bangalore, India. I spend most of my time building and operating infrastructure: Kubernetes clusters, SaltStack fleet management, CI/CD pipelines, observability stacks, and the occasional homelab experiment.

I've been writing on hellodk.io since 2015. Most posts are about things I've debugged, built, or broken — and what I learned from it.

What I work on

  • kri — fleet management for Apple Silicon Mac Mini build infrastructure
  • Kubernetes — production and homelab
  • SaltStack — configuration management and orchestration
  • Observability — Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry
  • CI/CD — Jenkins, GitHub Actions, Gitea
