His work examines early computerization processes through case studies like the Catalan "Center for the Popularization of Informatics" and ZX81 user communities, highlighting non-professional user engagement and collaborative technology development. Research output reveals strong connections between Spanish video game history and broader sociotechnical transitions.

Recent publications emphasize themes of playfulness in technology adoption, co-production of software ecosystems, and the construction of "non-professional" user identities. His 2021 article on social construction in Catalonia and 2016 works on Spanish video games and ZX81 clubs demonstrate interdisciplinary approaches to computing history.
