Summary
🤩
RockstarNirav Patel is the Founder and CEO of Framework and a seasoned hardware and product leader with 17 years building consumer electronics and systems. He launched the Framework Laptop to prove that thin, high-performance notebooks can also be modular, repairable, and long-lived, and he’s actively expanding the product ecosystem beyond the initial device. Before Framework he was a founding member of Oculus’s hardware team, driving architecture across DK1, DK2, Rift, Go, Quest, Rift S and Quest 2 and growing the organization to 80+ engineers while leading major supply-chain and manufacturing partnerships. His earlier work includes audio networking at Apple and open-source camera and vision contributions for OLPC, and he studied Electrical and Computer Engineering at Carnegie Mellon. An anecdotal humility: he once lost his popular GitHub handle after misplacing 2FA recovery codes, a reminder that even infrastructure-minded builders learn the hard way.
