The claim I'd rather be judged on: not that my agents are correct, but that being wrong is discoverable. Write-up: <a href="https://sriramvarun0636.github.io/" rel="nofollow">https://sriramvarun0636.github.io/</a><p>Vasool — compliance-gated payment recovery agent on Razorpay's test APIs. I pre-registered seven falsification criteria before running anything, and then lost against one: a dumb baseline that retries everything recovers 16.35pp more than mine. It also breaks policy in 1,000 of 1,000 seeded runs; mine breaks it in 0. That trade is the finding, and it's the second section of the README, not an appendix. The LLM never calls a tool — inert verdict type, no adapter to the execution plane, asserted by an import-graph test. Simulated outcomes, tagged as such in the source; every figure is a key in a committed manifest, so you can check any number without running anything.

Happy to prove it directly on your codebase first — I'll take on a 2-3 week paid trial sprint on a real backend bottleneck before any longer-term conversation.<p>Computer Science Engineer (MNNIT Allahabad). Formerly Software Engineering Intern @ DeeveloX (preprocessed 5GB+ vector search datasets with Gemini APIs).<p>Recent High-Agency Projects:<p>• AutoPatch-AI (<a href="https://github.com/sriramvarun0636/AutoPatch-AI" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/sriramvarun0636/AutoPatch-AI</a>): Autonomous, self-healing code remediation agent built on a LangGraph state machine. Engineered a zero-trust Docker execution layer (network_disabled=True, 256 MB RAM / 128 PID cgroup hard limits), streamed real-time telemetry over thread-safe queues via SSE, and built an AST-based line-level parser (cutting context/generation bloat by ~80%). Achieved a 100% resolution rate (5/5) on a custom Micro-SWE-bench harness with an average time-to-resolution of ~205 seconds.<p>• SentinelPrime (<a href="https://github.com/sriramvarun0636/SentinelPrime" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/sriramvarun0636/SentinelPrime</a>): Multi-threaded, regime-aware options trading system for live WebSocket market data. Releases the CPython GIL during numerical computations using Numba JIT compilation (nogil=True) and an Actor Model architecture over daemon threads to isolate DB I/O and API calls. Built thread-safe O(1) queues and fixed-size circular memory buffers to eliminate allocation overhead under 24/7 continuous operation.<p>• HydraPrime (<a href="https://github.com/sriramvarun0636/HydraPrime" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/sriramvarun0636/HydraPrime</a>): Systematic XAUUSD strategy in MQL5 (C++ derivative), developed and iterated solo over two years — OTE/Fair-Value-Gap structural entries with ATR-adaptive sizing and multi-layered drawdown circuit breakers. Backtested across 96M+ real ticks over a single two-year window (2024–2026) that included a strong gold bull run: 1.37 profit factor, 13.8% max drawdown, 252% net return. Not yet forward-tested live, so I hold that return number loosely until it survives a different regime.<p>What I'm looking for:
Backend/infra/agent-systems roles at early-stage teams, pre-seed to Series A — founding engineer or engineer #2–5, wherever you're at. Standard interview loops work fine too, not just trial sprints.</p>
