🎬 I love cinema. Not just watching films — I love storytelling through moving images. I’ve filmed a bit myself and done sound design for film and exhibitions.
Story + sound = magic. That’s probably where Dreamwaves comes from too, now that I think of it…

I believe science belongs in the world, not just in papers. That’s what drives me: turning complex tech into real-world solutions.
I’ve worn many hats — engineer, researcher, founder, mentor. I’m mostly passionate about building things that matter.
Excited to connect with everyone out there. 😊

Yes :)

🇵🇹 I’m Portuguese, born and raised near Lisbon — always close to the beach, always chasing the sun. I’ve been living abroad for over 20 years now (crazy to say it out loud), but the love for summer, the ocean, and grilled sardines never left me.

👋 Hi Bluesky! I’m Hugo, an engineer turned entrepreneur, currently on a mission to make the world more accessible using spatial audio.
Starting in engineering and passing through research I now lead Dreamwaves, helping blind and visually impaired people navigate the world more independently.
