Niel Jongwhan Ok

I'm currently building end-to-end simulation infrastructure for autonomous weapons as cofounder of Null Labs (YC F25).

I previously worked at a stealth DeepMind spinout building core infra for running large-scale experiments and GPU observability as one of the first hires. Before that, I studied EE at Stanford and was part of the Brains in Silicon Lab researching spatiotemporal codes and their relation to neural activity.

In high school I wrote custom simulators to test quantum teleportation protocols before porting them to Google Willow under the mentorship of people at the University of Cincinnati and Google Quantum. I also worked on computer vision models for brain tumor diagnosis.
