Dhruv Parmar Hey, I'm Dhruv. 👋

Product engineer obsessed with the zero-to-one journey. Done it multiple times, still not tired of it. If you're building something early-stage Let's Chat →


I build products that solve real pain points: mine, my customers', whoever's hurting. I've been doing this for the better part of the last decade as a product engineer at early-stage startups:

  • First Engineer at Recall.ai (2022 — 2025)
  • Co-Founder at Glood.AI (2019 — 2022)
  • Product Engineer at Product Hunt (2019 — 2020)

I'm particularly interested in:

🛠️ Founding-Stage Product Engineering

Building product, talking to users, reverse-engineering 3rd party modules and figuring out 80/20 solutions. I've done this multiple times over and I don't get tired of it.

🤖 AI-Augmented Development

I'm curious about how engineers are integrating AI into their workflows. My current setup is fully voice-driven development with Wispr Flow and Claude Code as my tools of choice. I'd love to exchange notes.

🎯 Hiring at Early-Stage Startups

Based on my experience, personalized, founder-led outreach works significantly better when you're starting out and nobody's heard of you. I'm building Konex to automate sourcing and outreach so founders can focus on talking to the right candidates.
