# Arihant Deva — Full Site Content > A markdown dump of every public-facing section of arihantdeva.com, formatted for ingestion by language-model crawlers and retrieval-augmented systems. Updated 2026-05-18. --- ## About **Name:** Arihant Deva **Tagline:** Finance + engineering. **Location:** New Jersey, USA **Contact:** [LinkedIn — arihant-deva-44004629a](https://www.linkedin.com/in/arihant-deva-44004629a/) I build research and trading systems for myself, and I write equity research the rigorous way. Currently shipping **Leviathan** — an autonomous equity research platform that turns a ticker into a full DCF model, research memo, and investor deck. Looking for the next seat where research rigor and engineering throughput compound. --- ## Projects Things I've built. Shipped, breaking, or quietly running on a server somewhere. ### Leviathan (LVT-001) — Autonomous equity research platform **Status:** Shipping. **Website:** [leviathanterminal.com](https://leviathanterminal.com/) Ticker in → Excel DCF model, Word research memo, PowerPoint investor deck out. **What ships today** - WACC + DCF (bear / base / bull scenarios) - Peer comps — trading and transaction multiples - Monte Carlo simulation + historical valuation bands - Beneish M-Score forensic accounting score - BUY / HOLD / SELL recommendation with price target **On the roadmap** - M&A: accretion / dilution, synergy modelling, LBO - Portfolio analytics: VaR, Sharpe, max drawdown, efficient frontier, factor exposure - Multi-field screener — value / growth / quality / momentum - Factor backtesting - Real-time event detection (earnings, filings, insider transactions) → automatic re-analysis - FINRA 2241 / MiFID II compliance exports - 13F institutional ownership tracking - Bond and credit scoring - Private-company manual-input pipeline **Data sources:** SEC EDGAR (XBRL), Yahoo Finance, Finnhub, Financial Modeling Prep, Alpha Vantage, and six others. **Stack:** FastAPI · React 19 · Vite · PostgreSQL · openpyxl · python-docx · pptxgenjs · Claude API. **Platform:** Multi-tenant. JWT authentication with organization / team / role hierarchy (Owner · Admin · Member · Viewer). Named API keys, usage metering, and quota enforcement. --- ### Jarvis (JRV-002) — Local voice agent **Status:** Running. Wake-word voice assistant that runs entirely on-device — no cloud round-trip. - Voice Q&A - `research ` → generates a PDF research brief - `suit up` → starts a soundtrack, opens leviathanterminal.com, attaches a tmux workstation - `jarvis start / stop / status` daemon **Stack:** Porcupine (wake word) · Silero VAD · Whisper.cpp (speech-to-text) · Ollama llama3.1:8b · Piper (text-to-speech). All local; no cloud round-trip. --- ### EasyApply (EAP-003) — Personal job-application automation **Status:** Personal tool. Headless browser script that fills out internship applications across LinkedIn, Handshake, and Indeed. - `launch_persistent_context` — one Chromium profile per site - Claude Haiku fills free-text form fields - Short cover-letter drafting from a resume + JD prompt **Stack:** Playwright (persistent contexts) · Claude Haiku. Built for myself, shared with a few friends. Not a product. --- ### Inquire (INQ-004) — Tenant management platform **Status:** Beta. Tenant intake and triage for small landlords. Tenants submit; AI triages urgency with reasoning; landlords manage everything in one console. - 13-table data model - AI-triage: urgency · reasoning · tenant self-rating · admin override - Inquiry messages and attachments - Status events and audit log - Password resets, debug emails, public-ref sequence - `/portal` (tenant) · `/admin` (landlord) · `/accept-invite` · `/account` — full authentication flows with invitations **Stack:** Next.js 16 · React 19 · Drizzle ORM · Neon Postgres · NextAuth 5 (beta) · Argon2 · Vercel. --- ## Professional Timeline Where I've been, in chronological order — from the first ticker to the current seat. ### Early — Started trading Got curious about markets as a teenager. Self-taught from filings, transcripts, and primary sources rather than influencers. Quiet, long, compounding interest. ### Early — Niche conviction Built early conviction in a then-niche corner of markets. Spent years researching it before it was mainstream. Wrong often, right enough to keep going. ### Early — Drawdown → discipline Learned the hard way that conviction without risk management is just a story. A drawdown taught more than any course. Built checklists, position-sizing rules, and a "thesis-kill" file for every position. ### School — Millburn High School Honors coursework, AP-heavy load in math, economics, and the sciences. Where the markets habit started turning into something more structured. ### School — Investment Club, President Ran the club, restructured the pitch process, mentored younger members on building real DCFs instead of vibes-based price targets. ### Internship — FinBotX, Quant/research intern Worked on systematic equity signals. First time touching production-grade backtesting infrastructure. ### School — Rutgers Business School, Finance & Analytics Dean's List. Coursework in valuation, econometrics, and accounting forensics. ### Work — Shepherd Ventures, Quantitative Researcher Built mean-variance portfolio optimization on the S&P 100 in Python (PyPortfolioOpt · cvxpy · scipy). Layered K-means preselection, GARCH(1,1) volatility via `arch`, covariance shrinkage, and weight-bounded constraints feeding the efficient frontier. Backtested through tail events — including the COVID drawdown — against equal-weight and proportional-weight baselines. Outputs: optimized weights, drawdown curves, Sharpe-maximized portfolios. **Tags:** PyPortfolioOpt · cvxpy · GARCH(1,1) · K-means · covariance shrinkage. ### Pivot — Independent research → Leviathan Realized every sell-side report I read could be assembled by an agent if I gave it the right tools. Started building. ### Now — Leviathan Institutional-grade autonomous equity research platform. See the Projects section above for the full breakdown. ### Next — Looking for the next seat Targeting roles where research rigor and engineering throughput compound. --- ## Creative Sticky whiteboard, in progress. Pinned tiles, half-finished thoughts. - **Side A — Writing:** Long-form essays and short notes. - **Side B — Field notes:** Lessons from running real money and live experiments. More coming. --- ## Personal Mind-map, in progress. A radial map of the off-screen me — convictions, books and reading, music, training and fitness, places, people. Coming soon. --- ## Contact Best place to reach me is [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/in/arihant-deva-44004629a/). --- ## Site - **URL:** https://arihantdeva.com/ - **Repository:** Static HTML + in-browser Babel React (no build step).
