About Me

Dhruv Pathak Profile Picture


I build systems that sit at the intersection of security and intelligence, from encrypted peer-to-peer communication layers to real-time AI pipelines that process and enrich live audio at scale.

Most recently, I built PodLens, a real-time AI context engine that transcribes live podcast audio and automatically surfaces structured knowledge: people, companies, technologies, and locations, with relevant visuals and summaries, all in real time. The hard problem wasn't the AI, it was building a low-latency pipeline that could enrich content fast enough to be useful while you're still listening.

Before that, I spent 2+ years at KPMG as a Security Analyst and Consultant, where I analysed and hardened cloud infrastructure across 10+ enterprise solutions, ran vulnerability assessments across 100+ systems, and built Python-based tooling that cut incident response time by 20 hours a week.
