About
A short version of the story
I'm Dhavan. I work on Salesforce Marketing Cloud architecture, customer data, and the integrations that connect them.
I'm a Marketing Cloud Architect at Genetrix and Product Lead at Emlyt, where I work across product direction, development, sales, and marketing. Before that, I built construction software through Consinsta and worked at Infosys.
This is where I share things I build, technical ideas worth writing down, and moments from the community. Away from the screen, I play piano and write poetry.

Beyond the keyboard
Two things that aren't work: I play piano, and I write poetry. Neither is a side hustle. They're the part of the day where nothing needs to scale.
If I ever publish a poem or a recording here, it will be an actual one of mine. Until then, here's an octave you can play instead.
I speak Hindi and English.
One octave. Click a key, or use A S D F G H J.
