arb.service β€” running Β· ex-HyperVerge

Introducing Varun, the engineer who never idles.

I build systems that learn, remember, and act β€” MEV trading bots, fintech rails, and AI agents that keep working while everyone else sleeps.

The scatter

Hackathons, bots, rails, agents β€” it all connects.

MEV Arbitrage Engine

Rust pricing engine built on a self-hosted Reth node, running Bellman-Ford negative-cycle search over 1,850+ live pools across 11 protocol types at ~120K edge permutations/s, allocation-free, with every candidate validated on a local REVM fork at 0 bps profit divergence. 10,500+ Flashbots bundles submitted β€” and when they landed close to zero, I traced it to a token universe covering only 27% of profitable legs and a Curve pool quoting ETH 6% under market.

VibeTrading Club

Crypto chart analysis streaming 9 live Binance pairs, with support/resistance and W/M pattern overlays. An orchestrator runs indicator and liquidity agents over an MCP server, a chat agent turns plain-English ideas into alerts, and signals are scored with bootstrap CIs on unseen data. Ships as a PWA and an Android app.

Rootpay

Founding engineer, solo across the stack of a USD β†’ INR remittance platform: React Native (Expo) app, Next.js site, Express/Node backend, and Firebase/GCP infra. Event-driven settlement lands in 2–3s vs multi-day SWIFT rails, kept retry-safe by idempotency keys and a 30s reconciliation job. 100+ transacting users, $2K–4K daily volume.

Developer Bot

Self-hosted AI engineer: Jira tickets are sanitized for prompt injection and secrets, planned by Claude against an org knowledge base of conventions and past MR reviews, approved in Slack, then raised as GitLab MRs. Two code-gen paths β€” structured str_replace edits and the Claude Code CLI run headlessly in a sandbox β€” scored by an eval harness with deterministic checks and an LLM judge.

ReportEase

FIR analysis tool now in use by Rajasthan Police: OCR-parses incident reports and suggests IPC & CrPC sections through a Mistral 7B fine-tuned with Hugging Face AutoTrain at 96% accuracy, plus a React & Chart.js crime-analytics dashboard over CCTNS data. 1st in problem statement, 2nd runner-up among 1,665 teams at Rajasthan Police Hackathon 1.0.

RemitIndex

Comparison platform for NRIs and expats covering remittance, forex cards, credit cards, and eSIMs across 30+ providers and 40+ currencies, with a live send-money rate calculator. A programmatic SEO pipeline generates pages across 101 niches and 4 page types from Gemini Flash structured output.

Koan

No-code DeFi builder (team of 3; I built 90%+ of the frontend): compose apps on a drag-and-drop React Flow canvas from 22 plugin nodes β€” wallet, 1inch swaps, Fusion+, limit orders β€” test them step by step in a TypeScript execution engine, then export a generated Next.js + Express app with one-click GitHub publish.

SensAI Integrity Suite

Proctored-assessment layer for HyperVerge's open-source SensAI LMS (team of 2): camera live preview with in-browser face detection, an admin dashboard with a sortable timeline of flagged events, and a debounced autosave with an unsaved-changes guard in the quiz editor.

A Rust service on a DigitalOcean droplet searches 1,850+ live pools for negative cycles, validates every candidate on a local REVM fork, and fires Flashbots bundles β€” 10,500+ so far, around the clock, whether I'm awake or not.

Journey

How I got here.

2026

Founding Engineer Β· Rootpay

Owned the full stack solo for a USD β†’ INR remittance platform: React Native & Next.js clients, an Express/Node backend, and Firebase/GCP infra with CI/CD, deploys, and monitoring. Event-driven settlement in 2–3s vs multi-day SWIFT; 100+ PRs merged, 100+ transacting users, $2K–4K daily volume.

2025–26

SDE Intern, AI Systems Β· HyperVerge

Built an agentic FastAPI pipeline that turns Notion & Google Docs PRDs into GitLab MRs in 45–90s β€” Anthropic API & MCP planning, JWT-signed Slack approval, and a PostgreSQL state machine with idempotency keys, tuned with agentic evals. 17 PRDs closed; adopted by 3 teams. Also added PII redaction to production KYC APIs, holding added cost to 15–35 ms/doc across 1.5M+ verifications for 15+ enterprise clients.

2025

Data Engineering Intern Β· SRM Technologies

Built a dual-storage ETL pipeline moving 4–6 GB daily, tokenizing 5+ PII categories and fragmenting sensitive records across Firebase and IPFS with lossless UUID-based reconstruction at 100% integrity.

2024

Fullstack Intern Β· Biconomy

Integrated the Smart Account V2 SDK (session keys, permissions) into an existing product, and built a cross-chain Gitcoin Grants donation flow with ERC-4337 account abstraction and bundling β€” $4K+ raised from 100+ users.

Earlier

Catalystix Β· CorelytixAI

Built AI agents, A/B testing frameworks, and AWS-deployed APIs across two internships while shipping side projects at night.

2022–26

B.Tech CSE Β· SRM IST

Graduated May 2026. As Crypto Domain Lead of the SRM Blockchain Club (Oct 2022 – Dec 2025), ran Dune Analytics research on token flow patterns and represented the club at ETH India and Solana HackerHouse.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

What do you actually do?
I'm a full-stack engineer with a systems edge β€” I take products from idea to production: frontend, backend, mobile, smart contracts, and the infrastructure underneath. My sweet spot is fintech, trading systems, and agentic AI.
What are you working on right now?
Building VibeTrading (live in public beta) and Developer Bot, and keeping a Rust MEV arbitrage engine running on mainnet. Most recently I was the founding engineer at Rootpay and an SDE intern on HyperVerge's AI Systems team.
Do you freelance or take contract work?
Yes β€” I've taken products from zero to production solo, most recently a full USD β†’ INR remittance platform as Rootpay's founding engineer. If you have a build in mind, reach out.
Why "never idles"?
Because my proudest builds are the ones that run without me β€” bots that trade at 3 AM, agents that turn tickets into merge requests on their own, pipelines that publish while I sleep. I build things that keep working.
How do I reach you?
Email is fastest. My resume, GitHub, LinkedIn, and X are in the footer.
