Maanav Dalal
Developer Relations Engineer at Black Forest Labs
Hi, I'm Maanav
By day I'm a Developer Relations Engineer at Black Forest Labs, which is a fancy way of saying I build demos, give talks, and write code that helps developers ship with FLUX. Before this I was an AI Product Manager at Microsoft, where I built the Foundry Local site and rebuilt the ONNX Runtime site.
By night: designer, developer, and serial website rebuilder (you're looking at version seven). I write a quarterly newsletter for friends, and I meander in the blog whenever a train ride gets long enough.

Things I've built
Hush
Voice-to-text that never leaves your laptop. Open source, no account, no cloud.
Foundry Local
Built foundrylocal.ai from scratch: the front door to Microsoft's local AI runtime. 20K visitors a month.
ONNX Runtime
Redesigned onnxruntime.ai top to bottom, the site for Microsoft's inference engine. 250K visitors a month.
Merwaha Group
Designed and built the site for a Houston real estate developer: duplexes, townhomes, and the case for investing in them.
FLUX at Black Forest Labs
Launch kits, live demos, and tooling for FLUX.2. The job is getting a developer from sign-up to first image before they lose interest.

Recent meanderings
Got something weird worth building?
Demos, talks, odd side projects, or a coffee if you are in San Francisco.
