Summary
Alfredo Muniz is the co-founder and CTO of XEED, merging wearable tech, robotics, and big data to accelerate Parkinson's treatments while delivering lightweight, plug-and-play full-body tracking for XR. With 12 years of hardware-software systems experience, he has led electrical and firmware design for consumer devices, industrial wearables, and high-profile prototypes, including DARPA projects and Parkinson's wearables. An alumnus of the University of Pennsylvania (B.S.E., M.S.E. in Robotics), he has a proven track record of turning ambitious ideas into production-ready solutions, such as redesigning an EV battery-capacitor system that boosted battery life by over 23%. An active open-source contributor, he advanced GNU Radio during Google Summer of Code and published tutorials to lower the barrier to entry for newcomers. He's also served as OpenXR Chairman for The Khronos Group, guiding cross-platform XR standards and collaboration across hardware and software. Based in Boulder, Colorado, Alfredo's work sits at the intersection of hardware prototyping, software engineering, and multidisciplinary teamwork, with a portfolio at muniza.github.io that highlights bringing napkin sketches to mass-produced devices.
