Electrical Engineer · Sonoma State University
I’m Juan Ali Ruiz Guzman, an electrical engineer who enjoys taking multidisciplinary projects from architecture and prototyping through integration, measurement, troubleshooting, and validation.
I’m most interested in the point where theory becomes physical hardware: the moment a design has to survive real sensors, parasitics, tolerances, firmware, users, and test equipment.
FLAGSHIP · EMBEDDED SYSTEMS
A portable research platform combining custom PCBs, five VOC sensors, ESP32 firmware, wireless export, a guided interface, and CFD-informed airflow design.
ROBOTICS · COMPUTER VISION
OAK-D perception, stereo depth, calibration, workspace filtering, inverse kinematics, ROS2, and physical RX-150 motion.
RF · MICROWAVE
LNA, Wilkinson divider, stepped-impedance filter, mixer characterization, antennas, SDR, and end-to-end transceiver measurements.
IoT · CONNECTED SYSTEMS
A collection of IoT coursework spanning embedded sensors, Raspberry Pi, MQTT, databases, PHP, Grafana, networking, and browser-based device control.
OPTICAL ENGINEERING
Optical architecture, wavelength planning, component trade studies, power-budget analysis, datasheets, sourcing, and BOM development.
CONTROL SYSTEMS
A feedback-controlled balancing arm using an MPU6050, brushless motor, ESC, Arduino-based control, and PID tuning.
PYTHON · DATA ANALYSIS
Grayscale segmentation and statistical threshold selection using histogram-based analysis and within-class variance.
ESP32, ESP8266, PIC18, sensors, power electronics, KiCad, bring-up, assembly, and system integration.
ROS2, RViz, MoveIt, kinematics, Jacobians, OAK-D, object detection, depth, and visual servoing.
ADS, VNAs, spectrum analyzers, S-parameters, mixers, filters, amplifiers, antennas, SDR, and propagation.
Linux, MQTT, TCP/IP, Wireshark, Packet Tracer, databases, web dashboards, and embedded connectivity.
PID feedback, sensor fusion fundamentals, motors, ESCs, system response, tuning, and validation.
WDM, lasers, detectors, couplers, filters, characterization, optical budgets, and component selection.
Engineering is a major part of who I am, but not the whole picture. I also enjoy working on cars, watching movies, playing instruments, traveling, skiing, and hands-on home projects. That same curiosity is what keeps pulling me into new technical disciplines.
