Nathan Baune
Engineer — instruments, platforms, and simulation
I build the instruments a question needs — software, firmware, hardware, whatever gets me from a question to an answer, or from an idea to something someone can actually experience. The domain changes: neural signals, GPU kernels, a sync pulse, a simulated world. What I'm after doesn't change.

Gothic Grandma is the long project — a simulation platform and the company being built around it. Alongside it I take lab-integration and instrumentation engagements: the work that doesn't need a platform, just someone who can build the instrument in front of them.
Research tools — Epoche, MR.Flow, PRE-Sync
MUSE — GPU-native simulation platform
