Varun Bhardwaj · Product
I ship the product, not just the spec.
I'm a product leader at Meta, and before that Dropbox and Autodesk. On my own time I write the strategy and the Swift, so what's below is four projects I built end to end: one of them is live on the App Store, and one of them I talked myself out of building.
I like talking to teams building in AI, data, and platform, so if that's you, I'm at vbhardw@gmail.com.

-
Mesa Prototype
Small-group nutrition accountability, where you declare a goal and check in and the group witnesses it. No progress bars, no scores.

“There is no version of the numbers where strong trust positioning and a real revenue line coexist comfortably.”
