Hugo Boyer is a bilingual robotics and digital fabrication engineer with 16 years of experience building real-time, simulation, control and distributed systems from prototype to production. Currently at Apple’s EMC group, he combines deep C/C++ and Python systems skills with ROS, GPU programming and cloud/teleoperation expertise developed in autonomous driving and cloud robotics roles. He has shipped scalable tooling and teleoperation features for notable open-source platforms (including contributions to the Apollo autonomous driving project) and designed large-scale simulation and cloud infrastructures at the Open Source Robotics Foundation. A self-taught machinist and electronics enthusiast, Hugo thrives on hands-on interaction with the physical world and applying formal ESA software standards alongside agile practices. Known for turning complex multidisciplinary problems into practical systems, he brings a pragmatic blend of space-grade engineering rigor and maker curiosity.
