Well, here's a little about the person behind the projects.

Reading Week Trip

Exploring Havana instead of textbooks — turns out reading week has nothing to do with reading.

Hey, I'm Juan —

I'm a mechatronics engineering new grad from McMaster with a deep love for building things that live at the intersection of hardware and software. Whether it's a robotic exoskeleton, an AI-powered chess board, or a VS Code extension, I'm drawn to projects that make me think across every layer of the stack.

I believe the best engineering happens when you understand the problem end-to-end — from the sensor reading to the user interface, from the training data to the deployed model. That curiosity is what drives me.

Away from the keyboard, I like to stay moving. You'll usually find me rock climbing and hiking, playing pickup basketball, swimming, or at the gym. When I'm winding down, I'm either listening to or creating music, exploring new food spots, watching movies, or building legos.
