I build things that scale. I break things to understand them.
Then I rebuild them better.

Software Engineer who learned to code by breaking things in production and then frantically fixing them before anyone noticed. Kaggle Master, ICPC Regionalist, and a Platypus Perry enthusiast.

A bit about me

Divyam Malik

I'm a Software Engineer who cares about building things that actually work at scale — the kind of systems where downtime isn't an option and every millisecond matters. Currently at Amadeus, working on backend systems in C++ that handle 100,000+ transactions per second.

Before that, I was a MITACS Globalink Research Intern at Dalhousie University, Canada, where I was the sole developer of ActEarly — a privacy-compliant healthcare app with Gemini API integration for hospital-scale caregiver usage.

I'm also deep into competitive programming and applied ML. Kaggle Master (global rank under 200), CodeChef 5★, ICPC Regionalist, and two-time Rank 1 in AIRogithm Geeks among 300+ engineers at Amadeus.
