Nikhil Barik — Software Engineer

Hello there! I'm Nikhil, a passionate tech enthusiast with a strong interest in algorithmic problem-solving, full-stack development, AI, and DevOps. I particularly enjoy diving into complex and scalable systems. I thrive in community settings, actively participating in hackathons, competitions, and developer meetups. Engaging with like-minded individuals and contributing to community work is a significant driver for me. As a Google Cloud Ready Facilitator for my campus, I conducted hands-on sessions on Google Cloud Platform labs through QwikLabs, overseeing and assisting 300+ students. I also founded and lead the Zigbee Student Developers' Club, organizing workshops on Git/Github, Flutter, mock interviews, and alumni-led discussions on interview preparation and guidance. Professionally, I've been part of Yahoo's Identity team, focusing on features, bug fixes, enhancements, and security issues in Member Center, User Authentication Flows, Universal Profile, and Tech Transformation/Cloud Migration initiatives. My technical skills encompass Java, JAX-RS, SpringBoot, REST, NoSQL, CI/CD, Splunk, Docker, Microservices, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, React, Redux, Express, and Agile methodologies. I'm proficient in Data Structures and Algorithms, having solved over 500 problems on platforms like LeetCode, GeeksforGeeks, and Pepcoding. In addition to my professional roles, I've been actively involved as a FOSS Project Mentor/Maintainer for initiatives like GirlScript Summer of Code, Script Winter of Code, Kharagpur Winter of Code, and JIIT Hackweek. I've mentored contributors, managed issue assignments, conducted code reviews, and provided feedback. I've also contributed to various open-source projects including Project Contour, Kubernetes, CNCF Glossary (docs), Meshery, Moja Global, and more. While am not studying you can find me messing around with Linux distros, helping people with making Hackintosh EFIs, watching videos comparing GeForce RTX 4090 vs. AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX, or something of that sort. Besides, I love going on trips with friends to new places. That is pretty much about me.
