Bhavya Verma
Product & Developer Experience Engineer
I ship the feature, write the docs, and show up in the Discord to hear what broke.
About
I started in open source. In 2022, while finishing my B.Tech, I joined Rowy and spent a year building the automation and integration plumbing that let people wire a backend together without writing it from scratch.
Then I joined BuildShip and grew from engineer into product owner. I built the integration framework behind 200+ APIs, shipped the AI workflow generator, took a Framer plugin from idea to 5,000+ monthly users, wrote the documentation at docs.buildship.com, and sat with enterprise customers until their workflows actually ran.
Across both, the loop was the same: build it, document it, demo it, listen, repeat. That loop is how I helped grow two communities to 15k+ members and ship 9+ Product Hunt launches. In my head it was never three jobs. It was one: make developers successful.
- 3+ years at early-stage startups
- 15k+ community members built
- 9+ Product Hunt launches
- Shipped a Framer plugin with 5,000+ MAU
Experience
BuildShip · Software Engineer (Product)
Sept 2023 – Oct 2025Remote · low-code AI workflow builder
Every new API meant weeks of hand-written integration work. I replaced that with a framework, then kept going until the whole product felt dependable.
- Cut integration maintenance by 85% across 200+ integrations with a dynamic framework built on OpenAPI specs and OAuth 2.0. New third-party APIs now ship much faster.
- Scaled event-driven workflows to thousands of concurrent runs on GCP Pub/Sub and Cloud Tasks, with 99.9% uptime and zero-data-loss delivery.
- Made AI workflows 72% more consistent in production as technical owner of workflow generation, shipping LLM infrastructure and function calling across Claude, Gemini and Groq.
- Cut enterprise onboarding drop-off by 25% by leading deployments and designing custom Human-in-the-Loop and AI workflow solutions with product and success teams.
- Owned the docs. I wrote the guides, templates and deployment frameworks that turned one-off customer setups into a repeatable playbook.
- Built the community from zero: office hours, demos, roadmap discussions, support sessions and hackathons, plus multiple Product Hunt launches.
- Instrumented 500+ workflow nodes with PostHog and internal telemetry, so debugging and activation analysis stopped being guesswork.
Rowy · Software Engineer (OSS)
Aug 2022 – Sept 2023Remote · open source backend platform
My first real product job, done entirely in public. Every feature I shipped was read, forked and criticized within days.
- Built the event-driven automation layer on Cloud Functions and webhooks, powering SendGrid, Twilio, Slack, Discord, DocSync and Algolia.
- Designed an extensible webhook framework for Typeform, Stripe and others, plus bulk CSV/JSON import and export with Airtable, PostgreSQL and SQL integrations.
- Built AI tooling that triages and summarizes GitHub Discussions, so the team spent less time sorting and more time answering.
- Grew the Rowy community from scratch through office hours, demos, roadmap talks and hackathons.
Projects
CMS Data Sync for Framer
5,000+ MAU · BuildShipFramer sites that stay in sync with any database, with no copy-pasting.
- Ideated and architected it end to end. Published on the Framer Marketplace in April 2025, it now has 5,000+ monthly active users.
- Pulls data from Supabase, Firebase, Postgres, Google Sheets, Airtable, scraped sites or AI-generated content into Framer CMS, served through an instant API webhook built on BuildShip workflows.
- Syncs with upserts, so only changed records are pushed and everything else is left untouched.
- Every plugin user is a BuildShip user. It ships as a BuildShip integration, so the plugin doubles as an acquisition channel.
Brilliant
AI calendar manager · open sourceScheduling should be a sentence, not a form.
- A conversational agent with generative UI and schema-driven workflows that reads your real calendar before it acts.
- Two-way Google Calendar sync with batch execution, recurring events and checkpoint-based rollback, so a bad AI edit can be undone.
Stickle
open source AI sticky notesNotes on the web that stay where you put them.
- A five-tier anchoring system that keeps each note attached to the right element through DOM changes and re-renders.
- Local and remote MCP support, so AI agents can read and act on the notes attached to a page.
“Somebody pinged you. Nobody knows who.”
- A self-hostable anonymous “ping me” form that lands as a push notification on your phone, with no sender identity attached.
- Private by design: no IPs stored, rate-limit keys that are salted-hashed and expire daily, zero telemetry.
- A zero-dependency
<whodunit-form>web component and a portable Web-API core that runs on Cloudflare Workers, Node, Vercel Edge, Deno and Bun. Delivers via ntfy, Pushover, Telegram, Discord or email.
Spotify Now Playing
live · 5 starsA live “now playing” card for any GitHub README or site.
- Spotify OAuth 2.0 with CSRF-safe state, token refresh, Firestore storage and signed httpOnly sessions.
- Renders a crisp SVG with a 30-second cache to protect rate limits. Users bring their own Spotify credentials, which sidesteps Spotify’s 25-user developer cap.

Launches
I’ve helped launch 9+ products on Product Hunt, and my profile carries a Top 5 Launch badge. A few of them:
Community & open source
Communities were never a side quest for me. Founders get their sharpest product feedback in a live demo or a roadmap thread, so I built the places where that happens, for Rowy and for BuildShip.
- Hosted office hours, demos, roadmap discussions, support sessions and hackathons that grew two communities from scratch to 15k+ members.
- Contributor to UNICEF Innovation, Fedora, Apache APISIX and Tambo AI.
- Mentor at Grace Hopper Celebration (Open Source Day) and volunteer with AnitaB.org and Women Who Code.
- I grow my audience on X, collaborate with founders and write about developer tools. Come say hi.
