Ryan Juarez

Hardware Tinkerer & AI Hobbyist

I've been building things since before ChatGPT was cool. From custom PCBs to self-hosted AI, I turn ideas into working hardware and software.

About Me

Full-stack hardware, from schematic to deployment

I remember GPT-2 and was there for the first Stable Diffusion release. Since then, I've been deep in the world of embedded systems, self-hosted AI, and building things that blink, think, and talk.

I design my own PCBs in EasyEDA, order from JLCPCB, solder everything myself, and 3D print enclosures when I need them. On the software side, I self-host everything from local LLMs to game servers.

Currently studying Computer Science at USF's Bellini College while working full-time. I prefer ESP32s over Raspberry Pis, but I've used both, plus Jetson Nano and Arduino.
