πŸ‘‹πŸΌ I'm Varun Sharma

Founder | Engineer | Motorcyclist

I am a curiosity-driven engineer and founder with years of experience building scalable web applications and investigative intelligence software. My career has been a series of intentional leaps: from teaching myself PHP in 2008 to building AI platforms that handle petabytes of data for law enforcement and governments.

I believe in building with intent, whether that’s relocating across continents to join a high-growth startup or riding solo across Europe on a motorbike.

πŸ”­ What I’m Doing Now

  • Building: My next venture (Started February 2026) focused on solving human problems through AI with strong focus on an innovative and open culture.
  • Refining: Advancing agentic workflows and LLM integration for enterprise-grade search.
  • Mentoring: Helping the next generation of engineers navigate complex distributed systems and big data using agents to do most of the manual labour.

πŸ›  Technical Arsenal

  • Languages: TypeScript/JavaScript, Python, Java, PHP (the OG).
  • Backend/AI: NodeJS, FastAPI, LangGraph, custom agent orchestration, RAG, and Apache Pulsar.
  • Frontend: ReactJS (Micro-frontends), Redux Toolkit, and deep experience in UI/API component orchestration.
  • Data/Cloud: Elasticsearch/OpenSearch, DynamoDB, Neo4j, Clickhouse, and AWS.

πŸ“ˆ Career Highlights

  • Toast: Led the Communication Platform, ensuring users get the right info, via right channels without the noise (and helping the world serve better potato salads).
  • Octostar: Co-founded and scaled an AI-driven investigative platform to a team of 15+, securing €5M in investment and €2M in sales.
  • Indeed Streamlined ad-tech workflows used by thousands of employers.
  • Siren: Built the All-in-one investigation platform having use cases in National Security, Public Safety, Cyber Threat, Fraud & Compliance. Joined as a full stack developer after Series A, helped the team & company grow to 8 Million ARR as a Tech Lead (since 2020).
  • FICO: Transitioned from intern to full-stack lead for their next-gen AML/KYC solutions, earning a spot award for delivery excellence.

🌍 Beyond the Code

I’m a firm believer that growth happens outside the comfort zone.

  • 2017: Moved to Bangalore to get into the Indian tech scene.
  • 2018: Relocated to Galway, Ireland, for the startup dream.
  • 2021-2023: Travelled solo all across the Republic of Ireland on my motorbike.
  • 2022: Solo 5,000km motorbike roundtrip across 6 European countries.
  • 2025: Moved to Dublin to stay at the heart of the Irish tech ecosystem.

πŸ’¬ You can ask me questions about:

  • Life, philosophy. More like a discussion to be honest...
  • Engineering
  • Finances and economy
  • High adrenaline activities
  • Travelling solo

"When I see something interesting, I dive in to understand how it works."
