Vikas Kumar

Over four months, contributed to the portworx/px-backup-api repository by designing and implementing advanced backup scheduling features for Kubernetes environments. Focused on evolving the API to support cluster-scoped operations, bulk schedule management, and enhanced status tracking, the work included adding new flags and fields for precise control over backup and restore workflows. Leveraged Go, Protocol Buffers, and Swagger to ensure robust API contracts, maintain backward compatibility, and improve test coverage. The engineering approach emphasized scalable, client-friendly interfaces and operational reliability, enabling users to manage multi-cluster backups efficiently while reducing manual intervention and risk of configuration drift during restores.
