Malik Saad Hayat

Hi, I'm Malik Saad Hayat.

I'm a Polyglot Software Engineer and final-year Computer Science student at COMSATS University Islamabad. I build distributed systems that perform reliably at scale and enjoy solving complex engineering problems across backend, cloud, AI, and infrastructure.

What I Build

I specialize in:

• Full-stack application development, from frontend interfaces to backend services and cloud infrastructure
• Backend Engineering with Golang and Spring Boot
• Distributed Microservices and scalable system architecture
• Event-driven systems using message queues
• High-throughput REST APIs
• Cloud-native applications on AWS and Kubernetes
• Infrastructure as Code with Terraform
• CI/CD, GitOps, and deployment automation
• Observability with production monitoring and metrics
• LLM pipelines, AI agents, and production AI systems

Open Source

I'm an active contributor to CNCF and Linux Foundation projects.

I'm also the Co-founder of GoVerta, an open-source organization building developer tools, AI automations, and cloud-native utilities for Go engineers.

What I've Been Building

CCRlPT

I build and ship production software across the stack, including:

• Frontend applications
• Backend services and scalable REST APIs
• Cloud-native product features
• Production AI pipelines across multiple cloud providers

GoVerta

As Co-founder, I design and build:

• Go developer tools
• AI automation systems
• Cloud infrastructure components
• Open-source projects for the Go ecosystem

Kerniq

I built:

• A Go-based video streaming server optimized for low-bandwidth environments
• FFmpeg-powered media processing workers
• Performance optimizations through intelligent caching
• Prometheus monitoring in Docker deployments

Techsols International

I developed:

• Production React applications
• Node.js backend features
• Production API integrations for business systems

Currently Building

My team, Team Verta, and I are developing Orange as our final-year project.

Orange is a dual-agent AI hiring platform for MENA and South Asia that autonomously handles:

• Candidate screening
• Talent matching
• Recruiting workflows
• End-to-end hiring pipelines
