Hugo Muriel is a founder and CTO with 13 years of experience applying machine learning and computer vision to media and streaming technologies. He holds a PhD in Recommender Systems and an MSc from EPFL, and has led R&D for image and video upscaling (isizeX) as well as founding AI-driven drone and video startups. He blends academic rigor with product leadership—running cross-functional teams, defining roadmaps, and shipping research-driven engines into production. Based in Neuchâtel, Switzerland, he’s equally comfortable in deep model development and in steering company strategy, a mix reflected in roles from university research to multiple founder positions. An underappreciated strength is his consistent focus on practical deployment of ML innovations (super-resolution and recommender insights) rather than purely theoretical work.
