Summary
Paolo Rüegg is a multidisciplinary inventor and product developer based in Zurich with a decade of experience turning human-centred concepts into tangible physical and digital products. He blends interaction design, software engineering (React, Unity, backend) and hardware prototyping to deliver medical robotics, vending hardware, XR experiences and mobile apps from concept through implementation. At Creaholic and previously FELFEL and Fjord he led UX-driven roadmaps, shipped web and 3D collaboration platforms, and built robotic automation and teleoperation systems. His background includes hands-on IMU/ROS development, digital twins and CI/CD pipelines, reflecting a rare fluency across embedded systems, frontend 3D work and backend services. Paolo’s work favours getting people out of the screen—designing tangible tools that solve real tasks—while his startup and restoration experience reveals a practical maker’s mindset and appetite for novel prototypes.
