Akshat Patil, 2026.
Akshat is 19 and from Indore, now a sophomore studying computer science in Bengaluru and graduating in 2029. He is 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, the Linux Foundation Decentralized Trust Hiero project, and the machine-readable RISC-V specification at RISC-V International.
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.
