## About

```text
At VOIS Vodafone Group, I research AI agents and AI technologies, including agentic frameworks, MCP communication, and RAG techniques, for AI agent-based solutions that automate business systems and create efficient workflows.

At Vodafone Spain, I researched emerging technologies and developed proofs of concept in AR/VR/XR and AI, including spatial computing, computer vision, OCR, and generative AI.

At Acciona, I developed and implemented robotics projects, including an autonomous office-disinfection robot, robot-fleet control interfaces, and quadruped robotics for mining tasks.

At URJC, I was the main person responsible for the European project H2020 - ROSin FTP ARViz, integrating augmented and mixed reality with ROS2 robotics. Earlier, at CAR UPM, I developed ROS-based software for haptics and participated in the European project H2020-AUGGMED.
