His research focuses on the late 18th- to early 19th-century power dynamics of Indigenous and Afro-Indigenous groups in the Caribbean and northern South America. Using archives across six countries and interdisciplinary methods, he amplifies voices of enslaved people, female leaders, and shamans within Guajiro societies. He has published peer-reviewed articles in Fronteras de la Historia and Mundos do Trabalho, and is finalizing his book manuscript The Guajiro Caribbean: Indigenous Power and Transimperial Struggles, 1696–1808, which examines Guajiro trade networks, interactions with Black sailors and merchants, and their role in shaping the revolutionary Atlantic.
