Curious generalist mixing pixels, code & “what if?”

👋 I'm Atharva Patil, usually just Patil. I live in the San Francisco Bay Area and work at the intersection of product design, engineering, and AI.

Philosophy. I approach my craft as an interdisciplinary practice, avoiding narrow silos. Curiosity has pushed me to explore not just how things look, but how they work structurally and systemically—picking up skills across frontend engineering, business strategy, and artificial intelligence.

Principles. I bias toward shipping over polishing artifacts in isolation. Sharing rough drafts early unlocks collaboration, feedback, and momentum—turning abstractions into concrete progress. I trust diverse perspectives and work to dissolve boundaries between teams.

Offline. When I'm not designing, you'll probably find me reading, running, cooking, or in a long debate with anyone game enough to join. If you'd like to chat, I'm always interested in new ideas and perspectives.
