Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolSonal Pinto is an ML microarchitect with 11 years of experience designing high-performance, low-power compute across silicon, firmware, and data-center stacks; she currently architects the brains of Waymo’s Driver. She has led tape-to-product deliveries at Neuralink (wireless BMI signal processing) and shipped XR graphics silicon and a lossless texture codec at Meta Reality Labs. As co-founder and architect at MK1 she built an enterprise LLM inference stack processing over 60 trillion tokens/month with hand-tuned CUDA and ROCm kernels and early production support for AMD MI300-series memory advantages. Her strengths span microarchitecture, performance modeling, RTL/digital design, and kernel-level optimization, making her equally at home in GPU kernels and silicon floorplanning. Based in California, she combines moonshot ambition with metric-driven engineering and a track record of patents and productionized systems.
