Firmware and desktop software for a handheld neuromuscular assessment device.
Burak Unlu
Computer Engineering at Johns Hopkins, class of 2029. I write firmware and the apps that talk to it.
Since December I've been the software and firmware intern at pebl health, a Baltimore startup building a handheld clinical assessment device. Since March I've also been a contractor at BioSoftPro, where I rebuilt their EEG neurofeedback app from Unity to React Native on my own. Before that I built Mirra, a listing tool a paying client runs their store on, and co-built MentorTracker, an app hundreds of students use.

Experience
BioSoftPro LLC
Software Engineering Contractor
- Rebuilt a production EEG-neurofeedback mobile app from Unity and C# to React Native and Expo, solo: about 16 screens, 4 real-time feedback games, and the product's first iOS build.
- Built a differential-testing CI gate that proves the hand-ported TypeScript signal pipeline matches the closed-source reference, and fails the build within hours if the upstream math changes.
pebl health inc.
Software & Firmware Engineering Intern
- Primary software contributor across four repositories, firmware to iOS: about 67% of commits and sole author of three of the four.
- Wrote the ESP32-S3 firmware (C, ESP-IDF), a Rust and Tauri streaming backend, and a CRC-16 wire protocol implemented byte-for-byte identically in C, Rust, and TypeScript.
Imprint LLC
Co-founder and Lead Developer
- Co-founded a two-person web studio for local small businesses and own all of the engineering: every client site, the studio site, SEO, and maintenance. One client site is live on its own domain and a second is launching.
- Technical SEO (structured data, dynamic sitemaps, Core Web Vitals work) drove 70%+ organic traffic growth for the studio site. Sourced clients by cold-calling about 200 local businesses.

Beyond code
MARTI
Mentor and session leader
I lead a weekly cohort of six students at a Maryland community nonprofit. I write one original, researched talk nearly every week, and I own the curriculum and the parent communication.
LeadUp
Event Coordinator
One of two active board members of a student-led nonprofit in Howard County. I run events end to end with 10 to 20 volunteers, and we raised $7,185 in the 2025-26 year through recurring bake sales and canteens.
Hill Academy Youth Branch
Co-founder and advisor
A youth-leadership branch that puts high schoolers in real roles. Co-founded it with a team of about seven.
Outside of work: weightlifting, classical music (Rachmaninoff and Chopin), long novels (Dostoevsky, Dune), and time outdoors.
Let's build something.
Open to Summer 2027 software and embedded engineering internships. If you are building something people use, I want to hear about it.
