Hi, I'm Caleb Dunn
Director of Product, Healthcare Technology · DrFirst
I'm a pharmacist who fell for product and never looked back.
Pharmacist → Product → Leader
I spent years behind the counter as a PharmD before I followed the problem upstream into product. I have been the clinician fighting the software that was supposed to help. Now I build for the person on the other end of the screen, and I lead the way I build: curious, hands-on, allergic to hand-waving.
Today I lead product for Gadget at DrFirst, where I built the product team from the ground up. Off the clock, a fleet of AI bots runs my homelab and ships my side projects — half play, half a running experiment in leading something that is not quite human.
What I do now
I shape product strategy and the roadmap for Gadget, DrFirst's prescription orchestration platform, working across EHR vendors, pharmacy networks, and internal teams to navigate regulatory complexity, improve provider workflows, and ship scalable e-prescribing infrastructure.
Where I come from
- Clinical care & pharmacy practice
- Healthcare IT & product design
- B2B SaaS product leadership
