With a background in robotics research and human-robot interaction, he brings experience in the design and development of socially assistive robotic systems, particularly those supporting communication and interaction for individuals with autism spectrum disorder. His work includes integration of artificial intelligence, computer vision, and software systems to enable interactive robotic behavior, along with development of open-source tools and control frameworks for robotic platforms.

Beyond hands-on development, his work has involved research and collaboration within robotics laboratories and technology organizations, contributing to system design, software drivers, and human-centered robotics applications. He holds a Ph.D. in Computer Science, with research focused on socially assistive robotics, and has authored numerous technical publications and contributed to funded research initiatives in human-robot interaction and assistive technologies. He has further participated in professional, technical, and academic activities with organizations including the Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AAAI), the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM), the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), the ACM/IEEE International Conference on Human-Robot Interaction (HRI), and IEEE Robotics and Automation conferences and workshops, including service as reviewer, program committee member, symposium organizer, open-source software contributor, and conference organizer in areas related to robotics, assistive technologies, and human-robot interaction.
