Sompa Malakar is a Senior MTS based in the San Francisco Bay Area with nine years of experience building distributed, cloud-native backend systems using Java and Python. He has delivered core features across VMware’s cloud portfolio (vCloud Director, VCF lifecycle manager) and at AWS working on EC2 License Manager, with strengths in JVM internals, REST APIs, Kubernetes, and containerization. His work spans databases (MySQL/Postgres), messaging (RabbitMQ), and automation (Chef, Docker), and he’s implemented both API infrastructure (OpenAPI/Swagger) and system-level optimizations for large-scale upgrades and billing/meters. Sompa contributes to open-source—extending VMware’s pyvcloud SDK to manage vApps/VMs and add IOPS support—demonstrating practical integration of cloud APIs and test coverage. He combines deep systems engineering with a history of productionizing orchestration and persistent storage features, and he often focuses on non-obvious reliability and pre-check logic that enables parallel cluster upgrades. With an MS in Computer Science and a consistent track record at enterprise cloud vendors, he bridges platform-level design and hands-on implementation.

Contributions summary:Sompa contributed to the pyvcloud Python SDK, primarily focusing on extending functionality related to disk and vApp/VM management. They implemented a feature allowing for IOPS specification during disk creation and added methods for deploying, resetting, rebooting, and shutting down vApps/VMs. Furthermore, the user updated the client methods to support query parameters, increasing the SDK's flexibility. Their work involved modifying core SDK files and adding corresponding unit tests.
