About Hugo

I design reliable electronic and mechatronic systems, conceived to go all the way to the finished product — without cost overruns or delays.

After more than 15 years supporting startups, SMEs, and industrial companies, including a CTO position leading a technical team, I have developed a simple approach: get straight to the real need, avoid unnecessary complexity, and deliver.

My goal: transform your idea into a functional, industrializable, and controlled product.

Specifically:
Electronic design (PCB, component selection, industrial constraints)
Firmware / embedded systems
Rapid prototyping and field iterations
Preparation for industrialization (DFM, costs, reliability)

I am particularly comfortable with unusual projects, "difficult to find" requirements, or subjects where structuring technical decisions need to be made quickly.

My method:
Clear scope from the start
Precise costing (no surprises)
Pragmatic and maintainable solutions

What sets me apart:
Complete product vision (not just an isolated PCB or code)
Ability to simplify architectures → more robust and less expensive
Strong field experience (real constraints, not theoretical)

If you are looking for someone who challenges your technical choices to secure your project, I would be pleased to discuss it.

    October 2022 - March 2023 (6 months)
    Toulouse, France
    This mission focused on prototyping two interconnected consoles with wireless communication (audio and digital connection) on UHF band.

    During this mission I:
    - developed a solution from my client's idea,
    - designed 2 specific electronic boards and produced them,
    - sourced the necessary components,
    - checked UHF standards,
    - modeled (CAD) two consoles and facades that I manufactured (aluminum, Dibond, digital cutting, 3D printing)
    - Wired and assembled two facades with about 40 buttons, screens, encoders, and potentiometers,
    - Performed a series of audio and digital communication radio tests,
    - Programmed two electronic boards to control audio and interconnect the two consoles with a robust communication protocol,
    - Tested the consoles with a series of functional tests and simulations,
    - Set up the production of a flight case adapted to the equipment.

Work done by Hugo on the design and manufacturing of a pair of industrial process simulation consoles intended to support Crisis Management training. From the initial contact, the impression of seriousness in his approach, and the exchanges during the design and realization phases, everything was extremely efficient and professional. Hugo prompted us to think about functionalities and technical possibilities that his expertise allowed us to consider. This opened up unsuspected horizons for us. Although we changed our minds about our design several times, Hugo always adapted without any issues. The advice from a flybox supplier proved to be judicious, and the final result is very impressive. Everything is much better than initially imagined and is obviously accompanied by paper and digital documentation to configure the consoles. I have no doubt that I will come back to Hugo for a project of the same type. The price is set from the beginning and is quite reasonable for prototyping. There were no unpleasant surprises. Thank you Hugo, see you again very soon, no doubt.
