I help the rich
get richer.

I'm Kunal Johar. I co-founded OpenWater, grew it beyond $10 million in annual revenue, and now serve as CTO of its PE backed parent company. I build software, invest my own money, and write about things that move the needle.

I'm the CTO @ ASI. I also built API2PDF and contribute to open source. I'm not taking on new work, but if someone in my circle pointed you here — I'll make time.
