Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolVaibhav Malik is a software engineer with 8 years of experience specializing in backend systems, distributed infrastructure, and test automation, currently building scalable AI deployment platforms at Sprinklr. He combines production-grade engineering with strong open-source credentials—GSoC contributor to Inkscape, active member of Inkscape’s Developer Working Group, and recent LFX mentee at k8sgpt—bringing both feature work and deep QA/test coverage improvements to projects like Vitess, Kubescape and LibreOffice. Comfortable across C++, Go, and cloud-native tooling, he has a track record of adding unit tests, improving CI/CD visibility (including a coverage visualization prototype), and fixing low-level bugs that improve reliability. Vaibhav’s contributions span competitive programming solutions to complex system tests, reflecting a pragmatic problem-solving style and attention to code quality. He is based in New Delhi and holds an EE degree from NSUT, combining strong academic foundations with hands-on open-source and enterprise experience. An unassuming detail: he’s turned toolbar UX and font tooling improvements in Inkscape into contributions that help non-programmer designers tweak UI layouts.
