Australian National University
Master's degree with a focus on advanced computing, data analysis, and software engineering. Expanding knowledge in data mining, machine learning, and distributed systems while engaging in research and academic projects.
Software Engineer at XtreamCompute, building distributed infrastructure and cloud-native systems that handle real production traffic on GCP.
I like building softwares. When a live betting platform needed a scalable relay architecture that could handle real load without blowing the compute budget, I designed and shipped one from scratch using Docker and Kubernetes, which can serve 1,000+ concurrent users per relay on 8 vCPUs, down from an initial estimate of 32. On the side, I built Genome Picker, a Figma plugin for color manipulation that's been downloaded more than 2,000 times.
Previously, I led backend development at Grouple, taking a TypeScript/Node.js SaaS booking platform from MVP through production and rebuilding our deployment pipeline end-to-end. I'm also drawn to AI-powered systems, on Signalist and CodeGenie I've built directly with LLMs and RAG pipelines rather than just around them, turning live market data and codebases into something people can actually use.
I believe in turning complex problems into elegant solutions. My experience spans from leading backend teams to developing blockchain payment gateways and building data-driven applications. I enjoy the challenge of architecting systems that are both performant and maintainable.
Testimonials

Sam Awad
I'm incredibly grateful for the opportunity to have met Arnav. His exceptional kindness and supportive nature make him stand out as one of the best people I've worked with. While I always prioritise attitude, Arnav's skills are equally impressive. Our connection began at a Hackathon a few years ago, and since then, our collaborations on various projects have consistently yielded high-quality results. His proactive "yes" attitude and problem-solving abilities have been a significant asset. Arnav has become more than just a reliable collaborator; he's a good friend.

It's rare to meet someone so quietly brilliant. Arnav was our first backend engineer at Grouple, and from day one, he let his work do all the talking. He took full ownership of our core systems, built scalable APIs, designed efficient data flows, and handled every edge case like he had been doing it for years.
What stood out the most was his clarity of thought and ability to turn ambiguous product ideas into solid backend solutions. He worked closely with me, asked the right questions, and never once backed away from a challenge. Whether it was late night fixes, performance optimisations, or simply thinking ahead of the roadmap, he was always ten steps ahead.
What I appreciated most was his deep focus and quiet ownership. No ego, no drama, just pure skill and commitment. He made hard things look easy and did it all without ever needing to prove anything.
Hands down, the best backend developer I've worked with. Grateful to have built with him from day one. I would work with him again without a second thought.
