I am a researcher, artist, and media theorist exploring how technology shapes the way we experience the world. My work investigates the evolving relationship between humans and machines; from artificial intelligence and robotics to algorithmic environments, and how these systems create new forms of movement, interaction, and expression.
At its core, my practice is about understanding how complex technologies do more than solve problems or perform tasks. They generate experiences, produce sensations, and transform how we perceive change itself. I study and build systems that move, respond, and evolve, focusing on how these processes unfold over time and how they shape our sense of presence, agency, and interaction with the world around us.
"If you analyze meaning, you miss the event."
Blending conceptual research with hands-on experimentation, I work across programming, robotics, animation, and interactive design. This hybrid approach allows me to explore how ideas become tangible — how virtual models influence physical behavior, how data becomes motion, and how mechanical actions can feel expressive, meaningful, or even uncanny.
My current projects combine writing, prototyping, and system design to investigate the creative potential of emerging technologies. Through this work, I aim to expand the conversation about artificial intelligence and robotics beyond questions of utility, toward a deeper exploration of how these systems shape experience, spark imagination, and transform our understanding of creativity and possibility.
"If you capture the experience, you are outside of it."
Thank you for taking the time to learn about my work. I’m always interested in opportunities to collaborate, exchange ideas, and push the boundaries of how we think about and design with technology.

"Pictoro.Oscuro" is a digital portfolio that showcases my work in both digital and analog photography. This platform serves as a live, self-managed digital workbook, designed with a minimalist approach to ensure that the focus remains on the photographs themselves.
The collection is thoughtfully organized into three categories: portraits, environments, and abstracts. Each section provides a comprehensive view of my photographic vision and technique.
The web application begins with an interactive splash page, inspired by the aesthetics of the darkroom and the tools of traditional photography. Key visual elements include a central "medallion" design, evocative of a film carrier, a typographic logo that illuminates like darkroom safelights, and the motto "Ligo Lux ad Umbras" ("I bind light to shadows").
The project's name, "Pictoro.Oscuro," is a blend of Latin and Spanish influences. "Pictoro" comes from the Latin root for artist and references the Picatrix, hinting at esoteric themes. "Oscuro," the Spanish word for dark, subtly nods to the camera obscura, paying homage to the historical foundations of photography.
