Akshat Patil, 2026.
Hello! I'm a Bengaluru-based CS undergrad, open-source contributor, and graphics tinkerer currently working my way into machine learning.

Akshat Patil, 2026.
Akshat is 19, studying computer science in Bengaluru, and currently learning LLMs with the aim of working as an AI engineer. Since 2025 he has worked on p5.js at the Processing Foundation, where he is now a steward on the project and a 2026 micrograntee building the WebGPU instancing API for p5.strands. He also contributes to KubeStellar under the CNCF and to the Linux Foundation Decentralized Trust Hiero project.
His interests sit where graphics programming, systems work, and machine learning overlap: rendering pipelines, the plumbing that makes them fast, and the models that are starting to sit on top of both. Alongside the code he makes videos on YouTube about what he is learning as he learns it.
Much like Sho Yamato running towards the finish line, he is curious enough to keep learning and stubborn enough to keep building.
Designed and implemented the instances(n).model() API and instanceIndex system for WebGPU instanced rendering. 30+ merged PRs across core, website, and the web editor. Now reviews and merges contributions as a project steward.
500+ verified bug reports, plus documentation and infrastructure contributions to the CNCF cloud-native project.
15+ merged PRs across hiero-sdk-cpp and hiero-website for the Linux Foundation Decentralized Trust project. SDK internals and site work.
Group expense splitter built for my hostel floor. Real users, real splits.
Food nutrition visualizer. Scan what you eat, understand what it does.
How the new instancing API turns hundreds of draw calls into instances(500).sphere(20), and what the GPU is doing underneath.
