Being among these two worlds he decided to start bringing the best of the software world to the power electronics world: the open-source philosophy. He created OpenMagnetics as a path to tearing down the paywalls and giving every engineer in the world access to the best tools, knowledge, and latest simulation models.

From 2018 to 2022 he worked as CTO at Frenetic, where he was responsible for developing its online tool for designing magnetic components. Prior to this, Alfonso cofounded the start-up Swarm64 in Berlin, where he created an FPGA-based architecture to optimize the performance of databases. That company was acquired by ServiceNow. And previously he developed hardware and firmware in the field of the Internet of Things at a startup in Madrid.
