About me · Dallas, Texas
I’m Dhawal. I build the tools I want to use.
My work sits where software, markets, privacy, and everyday frustration meet. I like taking a problem that feels messy and staying with it until the product feels simple.
The short version
Markets keep one side of my brain busy. Software takes care of the other.
Markets Desk came from wanting market information I could verify, not merely consume. Mesh came from wanting private community software that keeps infrastructure out of the way for ordinary people.
PureTV started as a cleaner way to watch live streams. MemoryChat came from wanting coding agents to remember useful context without hiding it in a black box. The projects look different, but each one began with a missing tool that became hard to ignore.
Why I’m building Mesh
Discord solved the interface. I want to change the ownership underneath it.
Discord made community chat feel natural, but its own privacy policy describes the account details, user content, activity, device information, and usage data handled by the service. Its October 2025 customer-support incident showed how sensitive information can be exposed through the wider service chain. Discord said ordinary messages were not accessed, but government-ID images associated with about 70,000 users may have been exposed.
Mesh cannot eliminate every risk. The goal is to reduce how much any one operator controls: encrypt conversations before they leave the device, keep account-service choice explicit, and let a community exist without being inseparable from one provider. I want those protections to feel as normal as joining from an invite.
