Hi, I’m Juan José 👋 — an industrial designer & systems engineer who builds across hardware, software, and ideas to solve messy problems with elegant, hands-on solutions. 2019's Global Grad Show #ProgresPrize winner with my drone Poleno.
I mix AI/ML, web development, embedded systems, and data analytics with a love for good design to come up with the best possible solution. Always curious, always prototyping — aiming to reinvent the present and design the future.
- TableMind – AI-powered Excel assistant that works row-by-row to automate spreadsheet workflows.
- PiTTY – A 33-key portable hacking PC built on a Raspberry Pi CM4, inspired by the TRS Model 100.
– A bunch of scripts for installing Arch linux with btrfs support and snapper-rollback out of the box.
- Dao – A Chinese learning app with spaced repetition, gamified tracking, and speech feedback.
- Stats – A svelte app for exploring the answers of the Public Innovation Index of Bogotá.
- Cometa – A client for mass mailing based on Flask.
- Embedded systems × AI/ML × human–machine interaction.
- Hardware prototypes with intelligent software.
- ROS and PID control for robotics.
- Advanced SQLAlchemy with Celery.
- Preparing for my Master’s in Smart Embedded Systems at TU Delft.
- Public Innovation Index Bogotá (IIP).
- Nature-inspired industrial & systems design.
- End-to-end prototyping (CAD → PCB → firmware → software).
- AI-driven product design.
I call my projects “functional mischief” — practical tools that make people smile when they realize what they can do.
