Neuralink

Implant Firmware & Embedded Systems Intern · Stimulation – Blindsight · California · Jan – Aug 2026

Led firmware for a 1st-gen neural stimulation implant: interrupt-driven, DMA-fed, high-throughput code coordinating waveforms and sampling for 3k+ electrodes (Rust and C). Architected the full app-to-ASIC stack for Blindsight, a human visual prosthesis.

Cut registration time per trial by about 97%

Cut registration time per trial by ~97%, which made the stimulation safety study feasible on schedule and met the FDA submission deadline. Brought up impedance and calibration so chips could self-test, unblocking the production line.
