I've always loved designing products and systems. I first discovered this while building Dona, an internal ITSM tool, and from there I kept hacking on ideas. Konverto was one of them.

I spent four years at Celebal Technologies as part of the founding team of their tech consulting practice. That's where I built Konverto — an AI harness for large enterprises running on user data in Databricks. Four years of shipping enterprise software, understanding how big organizations actually adopt technology, watching the gap between what AI could do and what people were allowed to do with it grow wider every quarter.

Then I quit. To build the thing I couldn't stop thinking about.

The Era of Tabs is Over. I didn't start Waterr AI because the world needed another chatbot. I started it because I realized how broken our relationship with AI had become.

Before Waterr, I was the Product Lead at an enterprise generative AI platform, building massive no-code bot infrastructures for global brands. I saw firsthand how the industry was evolving: incredibly smart models, trapped in browser tabs. Every time you wanted help, you had to stop your workflow, switch windows, upload your context, and explain who you were all over again.

It felt like hiring a brilliant assistant, locking them in a closet, and sliding notes under the door.

I left to build the antithesis of that experience. I believed the next great leap in computing wasn't about building a bigger model in the cloud — it was about proximity. AI needs to live where you work. It needs to see your screen, hear your meetings, and understand your context without you having to type a single prompt.

That conviction became Waterr AI: a desktop-native intelligence that doesn't just chat, but acts as a true digital delegate.

Building this wasn't easy. It required throwing out the standard SaaS playbook. Instead of a thin wrapper over an API, we had to architect an entirely new cognitive stack — an Agent OS that handles multi-modal memory, on-device inference, and proactive decision-making. We made the hard choice to optimize for edge-native, privacy-first infrastructure, meaning your data, your screen, and your memory stay yours.

I believe that in the next five years, the most valuable professional asset you will own won't be your software stack — it will be your agent's memory. Waterr is built for the founders, the operators, and the builders who want to clone their strategic thinking, not just their typing speed.
