Pranav Govind

Pranav is co-founder and CTO of ZyFolks. He leads engineering across the studio's AI-integrated products, custom software, and blockchain work — designing systems before they're written and holding the bar on how they ship. He spent four years as a technical lead in product engineering before ZyFolks, and started out as a mechanical engineer who taught himself to write software. His work sits at the intersection of architecture and judgement: systems that scale, technology choices that still make sense in three years, and the honesty to tell a client when something shouldn't be built at all.
