Victor Malchikov

Software Engineer

I work in the cloud and build applications for the web!

About

I'm a full-stack engineer passionate about building UIs in React and designing cloud-native systems in AWS. I'm most at home when prototyping, collaborating, and diving deep into new ideas. I'm drawn to projects where I can contribute to how things are designed — not just how they're implemented.

As a Senior Principal Engineer at RSA, I led front-end and cloud development across NetWitness, Archer and SecurID business units. I helped launch a SaaS risk platform earning leader recognition in Gartner's Magic Quadrant and filed several patents around risk modeling and access policy automation.

I've worked with a range of startups — including as a founding engineer at Genify, where I led front-end architecture and design from MVP through acquisition by FTD Solutions. Additionally, I enjoy exploring new technologies through passion projects like WordMuse AI, where I trained a custom OpenAI model to help users write thoughtful messages using LLMs.

In my free time, I'm usually hiking, learning new tech, exploring educational content creation, or taking care of my two birds — Blue and Einstein.
