- GDC Air-Gapped DNS: Designed a multizone mesh for cross-zone DNS resolution, enabling Kubernetes clusters across zones to communicate — built Custom Resources & reconcilers in Golang.
- Standardized DNS entries with RFC 2181 compliance using validating webhooks.
- Automated E2E tests reducing on-call issues by 64%; implemented SLO dashboards with Prometheus & Grafana for multiple DNS components.
- Gemini GDC Air-Gapped security horizontal — contributions recognised org-wide.
- SBOM parallel query optimization — achieved significant build-time reduction, recognised org-wide.

Dual-degree CS graduate from NIT Hamirpur (BTech CGPA 9.76 · MTech CGPA 9.9). Currently building resilient distributed infrastructure at Google. Previously at Microsoft & Amazon.
A Little Bit About Me
Hello! I'm Divyanshu — a Software Engineer @ Google, dual-degree graduate Computer Science from NIT Hamirpur (BTech CGPA 9.76 · MTech CGPA 9.9, Batch Rank #2).
At Google I work on GDC Air-Gapped infrastructure — building multi-zone Kubernetes DNS mesh, RFC-compliant webhooks, and Prometheus/Grafana SLO pipelines. I also contributed to Gemini's security horizontal (org-wide recognition).
Before Google I was at Microsoft (Azure SQL reliability) and Amazon (AWS Glue migrations). I'm deeply passionate about distributed systems, competitive programming, and mentoring the next generation of engineers.

Where I've Worked
- Live migration support for SQL VMs — reduced planned maintenance time by 91.67%; reduced customer impact by 3% per period.
- Resolved 50+ Sev-1 / Sev-2 critical customer incidents end-to-end across global Azure regions.
- Developed features using C++ & WINAPIs; built KQL dashboards for telemetry & incident monitoring.
- Migrated ETL pipeline from AWS Lambda to AWS Glue — enabled 100% scalability improvement and eliminated memory constraints.
- Built PySpark jobs for large-scale data processing with DynamoDB as the data store.
- Developed a Q-Learning agent to dynamically optimize handover decisions in 4G/5G heterogeneous networks, improving overall network efficiency.
