Dhruv Nenwani — Co-Founder

I am a software engineer by profession and a problem solver from the heart. I've always been fascinated by the internet and the creation of digital products. The same drive, paired with my natural curiosity, pushed me to pursue Engineering as a career. To put my classroom learning into practice and get an early grasp of how to take projects from inspiration to execution, I pushed myself to explore several internships/part-time stints at start-ups and mid-sized organisations during my time at engineering school. After finishing my B.Tech., I joined ParellelDots to build further upon this foundation. In 2017, I joined BBC as a software engineer as I was looking for more international exposure and to work on significant impact-driven projects. My four years at the BBC were incredible, from winning multiple accolades at global digital journalism platforms to organising a "Fighting Fake News" Hackathon with Google. The experience sharpened my technical skills and exposed me to best practices for executing large-scale projects and managing cross-cultural expectations. Post BBC, I began working as a freelance consultant software engineer for OCCRP and the United Nations, as well as providing professional services to e-commerce and tech start-ups looking to develop scalable web applications. Outside my professional work, I love sports analytics (essentially everything sports), stand-up comedy, and traveling. Some of my technological abilities include Node.js, ReactS, AngularJS, MongoDB, Python, and Shopify. In fact, I'm always open to freelance or contractual opportunities! If you're a budding entrepreneur working on something exciting, a tech enthusiast, or simply someone looking to strike up a conversation, feel free to hit me up or email me: nendhruv@gmail.com
