Hi, I'm Pushkar, currently designing the grocery experience at Uber Eats.

I’m fascinated by shaders, tiny GPU programs influencing millions of pixels simultaneously, mathematics expressing itself as art.
Drag the disc or Shift + drag the card to rotate in 3D.
Gaussian Splat reconstructed from a handful of photos using Apple's SHARP model.
Rendered in the browser as ~500k animated particles. A custom WebGL shader samples each splat's position and color, then a GPGPU compute pass adds a flow-field drift, decay/respawn, and cursor-driven deflection — so the reconstruction breathes instead of sitting still.
Use the arrows to swap scenes — particles morph between them in place.

Details confidential until publication.About me
I'm a product designer interested in prototyping and interaction design. I used to prototype a lot with Origami Studio, now I mostly prototype in Claude & Codex...
When I'm not designing
I like to play video games, I've 100%'d Sekiro and unlocked Peacekeeper in BF1 (with the help of codex 😅). I've spent thousands of hours playing Counter Strike.
I also like to read books, not as much as I want to, and I definitely buy more books than I can read. Currently reading - To stand with the Nations of world: Japan's Meiji restoration.
Grocery shelf tags that light up so shoppers stop hunting for items.
Shoppers miss items all the time — not because the store is out of stock, but because they can't find them.
Standing in front of a shelf of canned tomatoes, the question is simple and hard at once: which one of these 80 nearly identical items am I supposed to pick? Every miss means a substitution, a smaller basket, a worse experience.
Electronic shelf labels know exactly where every product sits, and they have LEDs. We connected them to the shopper app.
The status lives on the product photo, where your eyes already are: a small pill reads Shelf turning on, then Shelf tag on with a green light. A sheet explains what to look for on the shelf.
Explorations and screens coming soon.
Measured with a major US grocery chain, summer 2026:
The best thing since night baseball!
You don't need to press the button, it automatically activates on its own when you click the item screen & starts pulsating green.
Found a 20 item order in 15 minutes.
I presented this project at Seattle Design Night: the shopper's trip through the store, the moment of finding an item, and how shelf tags and the app work together.
