Amir Malik
Founder & Chief Hacker at Pilvy
Bangkok, Thailand
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAmir Malik is a systems-minded founder and chief hacker with 20 years of experience building secure, production-grade infrastructure and consumer-facing software from Bangkok. He founded Pilvy and shipped products ranging from a managed key-value metrics store (kvdb.io) to VPN server and client toolkits that were acquired by London Trust Media and integrated into Private Internet Access. Amir moves fluidly between low-level systems (Go, C) and higher-level services (node.js, React Native), and has repeatedly delivered pragmatic security and DevOps solutions—everything from OIDC-enabled IaC and Kubernetes for blockchain nodes to OpenVPN clients with privacy-first features. He has led engineering teams as CTO and Principal Architect, reducing operational friction with automation, observability, and Vault-backed secrets storage. Not obvious from titles: he builds small, elegant tooling and web automation engines (JSON-scripted browser automation for mobile webviews) that solve niche product UX problems at scale. His background in embedded, desktop, mobile, and cloud systems gives him rare end-to-end fluency when shipping secure, auditable products.
