Hugo Alonso

During my 12th birthday, telling my family about the two companies I had in mind. The full video will come out when the time is right.

Engineer obsessed with business growth. An obsession that started early: reselling broken watches, clothes, video games, you name it.

What I enjoy most today is building the systems that let people do what they do best: be human and connect. That's why I work across customer success, sales and GTM.

I want to pursue a career that crosses borders, working with and learning from people everywhere. The end goal is to build something with real social impact.

Thesis

Benchtop validation of an on-demand auditory cueing system for freezing of gait

Freezing of gait is the moment a person with Parkinson's has their feet stop mid-step. Rhythmic sound can help them start again, but almost all the research has gone into detecting the episode rather than deciding what the system should actually play once it has. We built an open source closed-loop system that detects freezing in real time and cues through off the shelf earbuds, then measured the whole trade-off space and the end-to-end audio latency so clinicians can see exactly what they are choosing between.
