About
Uday Vatti
I build digital experiences during the week and study cars on the weekends. Both are about understanding form, function, and the details that make something feel intentional.
I started out building for the web — backends, databases, and eventually UIs. Over time, I became more interested in the last mile between design and production: the part most systems treat as translation. That’s where I’ve focused ever since.
At Labelbox, I work across public web platforms, CMS architecture, design systems, and internal tools. I often take projects from ambiguous ideas to production systems, partnering closely with design and marketing to shape both the implementation and the experience.
What drives me is the belief that strong products don’t come from design and engineering working in sequence — they come from people who can hold both at the same time. I’ve built things that looked good but didn’t work, and things that worked but felt off. The goal is always both.
Cars are my other obsession. Not just driving them — the engineering, the design philosophy, why certain cars feel special and others don't despite the same spec sheet. It's the same question I ask about software.
Photography is how I slow down. I shoot whatever catches my eye. It's the same instinct as design: noticing what makes something worth looking at.
If you're building something where the design and the code both need to be right — I'd like to hear about it.
