Hi, I'm Arun. 🙌

I co-founded Magna, a fintech company backed by Tiger Global and Y Combinator. We manage billions of dollars in assets powered by our open source and were recently acquired by Kraken, where I serve as a Chief Architect.

Before that, I worked on algorithmic trading at Millennium and taught a computer science course at Penn. I also published research on evaluation methodology for the new generation of LLMs (2,500+ citations).

My work has been featured in the MIT Technology Review, TechCrunch, Fortune, AAAI, NAACL, and more. I also write about research, startups, and my life on my blog!
