VIKASH KUMAR — Software Engineer

I’m a passionate Software Developer with a strong background in building scalable, secure, and user-focused applications across the full stack. Currently working at Bank of New York as a Software Developer, where I design and implement robust backend systems using Java, Spring Boot, SQL, and Angular, while driving performance improvements and secure code practices. Previously, I built an internal validation tool for distributed systems during my internship at D.E. Shaw, leveraging Python, Large Language Models, and Apache Kafka to automate data pipeline testing. I’ve also developed Android applications from scratch as an intern at Hyland, focusing on efficiency and code quality with CameraX and Java. Beyond my professional roles, I’m an avid competitive programmer with over 1000+ LeetCode problems solved (Guardian, 2200 rating, Top 1.2% globally) and a Specialist rank on Codeforces, showcasing a strong command of data structures, algorithms, and problem-solving under pressure. I’m now looking to join a high-impact engineering team — ideally in a startup or growth-stage product company — where I can combine my skills in full-stack development, distributed systems, and competitive programming to build meaningful products that solve real-world challenges. Always open to connecting with like-minded engineers, mentors, and teams passionate about great software! 🚀
