As a learning scientist and software engineer, his research topics involve accessible computing for all learners with dis/abilities, inclusive makerspaces, and Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning (CSCL) and Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) with special focus on accessibility and universal design.

He is an avid R and Python programmer who has developed and published some statistical computing packages to the peer-reviewed Comprehensive R Archive Network (CRAN) including {ezpickr} , {mboxr} , and {youtubecaption} while leading the projects on reproducible research templates for Journal of Learning Analytics and Journal of Educational Data Mining.

He is also an official code-contributor (CTB) for some notable data science packages, such as shiny, rmarkdown, bookdown, distill, and more.

His expertise in both data science and accessibility offered opportunity for him to intern at RStudio in summer 2020 to officially be involved in accessibility-related projects for RStudio Server/Desktop IDE and their other products (e.g., shiny).
