About Me
I'm Adán Flores-Ramírez, a Research Engineer
The technology to improve people's lives exists. What doesn't exist is the bridge between what technology can do and what people actually adopt. I build that bridge through Human-Computer Interaction.
I lead teams, build assistive robotics platforms, and develop AI systems that work without expensive infrastructure. Driven to bring first-world innovation back home: making technology accessible, beneficial, and transformative for communities often overlooked.
