# Kunal Gupta > ECE Student @ NYU Tandon; Intern @ Boston Scientific Location: San Francisco Bay Area, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/kunalgupta I am a deep learning researcher specializing in prosthetics, signal processing, and bioinformatics. With a strong background as a Full Stack developer, I bring a unique blend of expertise to innovate at the intersection of healthcare and technology. ## Work Experience ### Software Engineer @ Commure Jan 2026 – Present ### Computational Biology Researcher @ NYU Langone Health Jan 2024 – Present • Developed a Python library leveraging generative AI to design synthetic DNA—currently used by two genetic engineering labs. • Optimized model to train 16x faster through distributed data parallelism and mixed precision; tailored model for wide-format DNA sequence data and small-scale feature extraction. • Demonstrated AI generated synthetic regulatory DNA’s impact on gene expression in mouse embryonic stem cells, advancing applications in gene regulation research. ### Deep Learning Researcher @ NYU Vertically Integrated Projects (VIP) Jan 2023 – Present • Developed a deep learning model enabling prosthetic limbs to recognize and execute up to 65 distinct gestures, a significant advancement over the standard two-gesture (open/close) systems on the market. • Co-authored and presented at IEEE ICRA 2024: https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/10610638 • Achieved the highest recorded classification accuracy (98.03%) on a benchmark EMG dataset, leveraging a novel multimodal transformer deep learning model ### Research Development Software Engineer @ Boston Scientific Jan 2025 – Jan 2025 • Designed and developed a server (async + multiprocessing) to connect testers (Clients, GUIs, Automation scripts) with a hardware simulation of a surgically implanted urology device. Can handle 100+ clients, coordinating multiple physical machines. • devices simulating pressures / temperatures with <10 ms latency. • Rewrote 20K+ lines of legacy code into a 2K line Python maintainable service layer (100% test coverage); stress tested with concurrent 4,000 requests from 40 clients to ensure safe, repeatable device validation. ### Firmware Engineer @ NYU Tandon School of Engineering Jan 2024 – Jan 2025 • Developed a haptic vest enabling blind / visually impaired individuals to "see" their environment through tactile feedback, conveying the location and distance of obstacles without relying on a cane. Improved traversal speeds by 1.4x and reduced the number of collisions by 2x. • Designed and built custom electronics using Altium and soldering; the final design ensured high contact, comfort, and washability, with concealed wiring for a fashionable and practical design. • Simulated real-world scenarios using a VR environment to test the vest's performance in crowded, chaotic spaces like subway stations, addressing the challenge of limited blind tester availability. ### Software Engineer Internship @ Athelas Jan 2022 – Jan 2024 | Mountain View, California, United States • (Summer 2024) Designed and implemented an electronic prescription platform enabling doctors to send prescriptions to all U.S. pharmacies utilizing SQL, Python, and React. • Integrated and certified with the national e-prescription API in just four months—far exceeding the typical 1–2-year certification timeline. • The platform now supports hundreds of monthly active doctors and providers across dozens of clinics. • (Fall 2022) Integrated an account creation step into the company’s front-end, eliminating the need for multiple contracts, forms, and calls. Reduced onboarding time by 50% and drove higher sales efficiency. ### Firmware Engineer @ NYU Tandon School of Engineering - Student Impact Innovation Lab Jan 2023 – Jan 2023 | Brooklyn, New York, United States -Designed and developed modular sensor modules for reading biometric data. Users can measure different biometrics like heart rate or blood pressure using just one device, making it a convenient and versatile tool for health monitoring. - Designed product in KiCad and assembled components, including soldering them onto a PCB. ### President @ Tinovation Jan 2018 – Jan 2022 | Santa Clara County, California, United States - Taught students fluency in Python, IOS, Android, or Web Development, a crucial skill for engineering today - Planned the creation and launch of an annual, club-wide product & directed an annual Bay Area Hackathon with hundreds of attendees and sponsors (Adobe, VMware, etc.) to empower club members by providing them with CS industry experience ### Technology Director & District Representative @ Bay Area Youth Career Opportunities Jan 2019 – Jan 2022 | Santa Clara County, California, United States - Directed district wide Hackathon: coordinated with sponsors/guest speakers, managed budget, ran meetings, & oversaw remaining functions - Helped plan job fairs, interview/resume workshops, a Google Career Seminar, and a MLK Day Apple Job Fair - Assisted students in landing jobs & preparing for college - Developed https://bayco.co ### Student Member @ Silicon Valley Youth Climate Action Jan 2018 – Jan 2022 | Santa Clara County, California, United States - Coauthored & advocated for legislation to reduce Cupertino’s carbon emissions through building electrification and land pollution regulation (passed 2019) - Helped educate public about climate change as co-director/organizer of SVYCA Bay Area Climate Change Art Contest & Earth Day Event host - Recognized by City of Cupertino for team achievement (2021) ### Chair of Environmental Sustainability & Officer @ Chair of Environmental Sustatinability Jan 2017 – Jan 2021 | Santa Clara County, California, United States - Worked with school to cut out non-recyclable cafeteria waste, started a gardening club, provided weekly lessons on sustainability, and ran the school's composting program, helping substantially reduce the school's environmental footprint - Led district wide Meatless Monday effort to reduce city GHG emissions, calculating initiative’s fiscal impact ### Student Board Member and Lead Developer @ One Family Foundation Jan 2020 – Jan 2021 | Santa Clara County, California, United States - One Shared School Student Board Member and Intern - Designed and developed portal, file upload and transfer, identity verification, messaging services, and permission based accounts - Provided feedback for organization initiatives - Advanced the goal of connecting students from across the globe, regardless of income or location. ## Education ### Bachelor's degree in Computer and Electrical Engineering New York University ### Entrepreneurship/Entrepreneurial Studies LaunchX Entrepreneurship Program ### Calculus of Several Variables A UCLA Summer Sessions ### High School Diploma Cupertino High School ## Contact & Social - LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/kunal-gupta-502994174 --- Source: https://flows.cv/kunalgupta JSON Resume: https://flows.cv/kunalgupta/resume.json Last updated: 2026-04-10
